Folks,
I tried not to create a thread and to add my question to HD Media Player vs HDMI player discussion. Unfortunately, It did not allow me post my questions as the thread was old. I could find another suitable existing topic to add my questions, hence starting this new thread.
I have 5 year old Sony 5.1 AV receiver. I have integrated it with Phillips HDMI DVD player with USB 2.0 that has HD upscaling feature. However, I am not happy with quality of the video I watch on my Samsung 40' Full HD LCD TV. I am planning to upgrade to HD source to ensure I utilize the Full HD feature of my TV. I have the following options and need your suggests in selecting a appropriate option.
1. Upgrade my DVD player with a Bluray player - Though we have Sony Bluray available for round Rs 10000, it does not have the USB 2.0 option.
2. Upgrade my AV Receiver with Full HD upscaling Onkoyo/Denon/Yamaha AV receiver with USB 2.0 feature - An expensive option.
3. Get a HD Media player and integrate them with my existing set-up - not sure of the quality of the video if integrated with my AV receiver.
I like to watch hollywood movies and and most of my movie collections are on my HDD.
Please suggest.
