Scooter / all,

After several weeks of debating, common sense kicked in. As much as I'd love to own a top of the line DVDO, the TV can't accept digital input or output 1080P. So, I picked up on e-bay yesterday a used DVDO HD+ with the SDI input for $550. The unit upsamples analog 480i and 480P to 1080i via analog and does allow pass through of 1080i. I am planning to put the HD+ between the 990 and the HDTV, which will net a few extra Component connetions.

In fairness, I was always happy with true analog HD signals on this TV, the problem is simply how little content there is.

With the SDI input I'll likely mod a DVD w/ a SDI output. Won't address the HD/Blu DVD issue, but these formats will likely take years to catch on. . . . Wonder if you'll be able to Mod an HD/Blu DVD to add an SDI output?

Thanks to all for input.
