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.
