Greh,
If you are buying a fixed pixel microdisplay based rear projection high def TV; e.g., DLP, LCD, or D-ILA, then I would definitely consider an unconverting DVD player with DVI/HMDI output.
Results of DVI/HDMI connection versus Component vary by brand and particular microdisplay technology. Best thing would be to run a comparison between the two with the same DVD and DVD source and judge for yourself.
I can speak from personal experience that an upconverting DVD player using DVI/HMDI output produces a better picture on a Samsing DLP than Component.
$130 for a DVI/HDMI cable, IMHO, is a ripoff. If you look on the web; e.g., www.bluejeanscable.com, you will find more modestly priced cables that will work at least as well as the high mark-up brands typically sold in retail stores.
