    yes it does.. and i'm leaning more towards that direction. I'd love to see a DVI DVD player hooked up to a HDTV via DVI connection.

    I highly recommend the Samsung HD931 DVD player hooked up via DVI. Be forwarned the remote sucks.

    that's the one i was looking at.. Ebay is selling them for a decent price it looks like. do you own that one? What did you notice over other cables?

    I'm having trouble finding any other DVDp with a DVI output.

    I am only aware of two other Players in my buy range that utilize DVI. Govideo and ...can't remember. Both more expensive and no better than the samsung. I own 9 differant players and for picture quality the HD931 wins. Very basic on features with two exceptions. HD upconvert and automatic picture sizing when connected DVI. The 720P setting is superior to 1080i.

    so far i haven't done anything. i'm still using the Monster cable video 3 component for now.

    but i know a better DVD player is in my future. just not sure how soon.
