It's about $200.

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to figure out if the Momitsu also works with non-HDCP compliant monitors. Some sites say yes, some say no.I went to a local high-end shop yesterday that carries a lot of digital monitors. Even the very best LCD monitors receiving a direct HDMI feed looked fairly bad. All of their digital TVs had a light haze of noise covering the entire picture, macroblocking and artifacts. My two ISF-calibrated analog monitors (one RPTV, one CRT) look much better than the digital sets. They may show line structure but they both present a cleaner picture with much more detail without any artifacts except for occasional stairstep aliasing on horizontal pans.
I think my expectations may be too high for what LCD monitors can deliver.
I believe there are 3 versions of the V880: the original, the DX and the N. The original (2004) does not require the display to be HDCP compliant (it does not put out an HDCP signal), so it will work with any display. The DX model (2005) upgrades the video DACs and some other minor things, but I don't know if they enforced HDCP compliance in that version. The N model (200?) is a network player and that's all I know about it. Check around AVS Forum's DVD Player section and I'm sure you'll find your answer.That haze you are seeing is called SSE (aka the Silk Screen Effect) and it is a problem with LCD displays (RP and flat panel). It is very noticeable on some LCD displays and almost a non-issue on other LCD displays.
