KF-42WE610 Converting DVI Inputs to Displays 788p?

[airbourne1]

Just purchased the Sony Grand Wega 42" Rear projection LCD (KF-42WE610), very happy with it and have been considering whether to add an additonal DVD player to the following collection currently in use:

I have an older 2nd Gen Sony DVP-S3000 and the newer Sony DVP-NC685V to play DVD+R's, etc.

I'm wondering if some of the 'experts' can comment on whether the Samsung DVD-HD931 would NOT provide any better picture on the Sony KF-42WE610, as I understand that it takes all signals and displays 788p, than using say the Sony DVP-NC685V in progressive scan?

The only reason to get the Samsung I've been hearing is for the DVI output but given what the Sony displays, should I get any better picture outputing via DVI to the Sony, from the Samsung, than I would get from the Sony DVP-NC685V, which is currently hooked up the Grand Wega?

Many Thanks!

I've heard that the Samsung 931 has had some issues with some fixed pixel displays, but supposedly gives a good picture when it works. Perhaps not a problem with your particular model, however, you may wish to consider the Bravo D1, or wait a couple of months for the Bravo D3.

The 931 apparently doesn't handle non-anamorphic (not-enhanced for widescreen) DVDs through the DVI properly and you have to connect an S-video for those...

57U- Thanks for the advice and the information on the 931. I was not aware of the Bravo D1.

Thanks- Airbourne1
