Dvi through projection T.V.-

[aquahallick]

I am in the market for a new DVD player namely a DivX player. I have a 65" HDTV projection TV. I need the best possible picture, because I sit fairly close to it, and DivX movies are not as clear as DVD's. Is the DVI the way to go? Your input is greatly appreciated-

better source quality would help more ... divx made from already compressed dvd's are not going to be the same quality as the original dvd - no mater what you play it on ..

so use the original dvd instead ...

in fact (and i have 2 samsung 931's DVI players which output HD) - DVI will look worse on poor image sources -- really makes them stand out .

also -- most 65" HDTV projection TV 's dont look that great if you sit close ... move back some

I sit about 10ft. from the T.V due to my room restrictions, but have the ability to change the size of the picture being outputed which helps.

"in fact (and i have 2 samsung 931's DVI players which output HD) - DVI will look worse on poor image sources -- really makes them stand out ."

So in my case the DVI would not be recommened? Furthermore is there a way to know what resolution would be best on my TV?

oh 10' --- ok , i thought you meant like 3 feet back or something

Sorry about that, this is the question I wanted to ask on the previos post:

DVI works best with progressive format commercial dvd's and animation ..

as for your tv -- i dont know the model you have, some are best at 720p and some are best at 1080i (because they dont do 720p) and for some sources -- best is 480
