Is the Bravo cheaper than the Zenith 318 hd which upconverts via component or dvi?
The Zenith is a higher rated player in the secrets test I noticed.
I can take the 318's dvi output and get a decent 110 in picture after calibration.
It is not however as good a picture as the Denon 3910 after calibration.
Then I tried the more expensive better built Onkyo sp 1000 via hdmi/dvi and get an even better picture than the 3910.
The fact of the matter is that a cheapo player will never compare to a better built more expensive dvd player whith better parts and engineering whether you use component,dvi or hdmi outputs.
Theres no free lunch whith cheaper dvi output players, at least not against players costing 6-9 times as much.
