        This seems like one hell of a deal. It says they are temporarily sold out, but you could still order at this price and wait. 2 hdmi, 2 component, PIP, memory card readers, 10,000:1 ratio. Sounds pretty good to me.

            Yeah, I just got the email alert for that too. I clicked on the link but didn't find a seller at that price. Lowest one was $1305.

                No it does not. Does this mean I just have to run a digital cord from dvd to receiver since their is no HDMI inputs on my reciever?


                Thanks

                    Thanks for the reply! Just waiting for my hdmi chord I ordered from monoprice to come in the mail. I'm very curious to see what a dvd looks like when upconverted.

                      It'll look better but don't get your hopes up that you'll be blown away. It's comparative to a video game system going from composite to s-video. Definite difference but not "OMG!!" type difference either.

                        Dang I was hoping for an "OMG" or atleast "omg" difference but only time will tell.

                          What is everyone's thoughts on using hdmi cables with the hd box? Right now I'm using the component cables that came with the Rogers (Toronto) box but am just a bit curious as to what the digital cables would do. I've heard that HD will look better but SD might take a dip- I'd be totally fine with that.

                          Of course, price is an issue. The big boys like Best Buy obviously rip you off with $100+ cables. If I can find a cheaper one somewhere, do you guys definitely see the difference?

                            get an HDMI cable from monoprice.com and you will see a difference, at least i did on my television. I think I only paid $7 or $8 for my cable too.

                                Stupid question got my hdmi cable today hooked everything up looks great! My question is a wide screen dvd should still keep it letter boxes when displayed on a hdtv right? A wide screen dvd won't "fill" the whole hd 32 inch screen right?

                                nevermind I found out my answer!
