I'm looking to get a simple HTIB with upconversion for under $200. It doesn't matter if it's a refurb and 2.1 is all I really need since it will go in a bedroom.
Since it's a father's day gift, I don't want to spend a lot and don't need 5.1 since this will be in a bedroom. I just want to give him something that provides better sound than the speakers built in to TV. Since it's a plasma, I want to replace his existing DVD player with one that upconverts since the scaler in the TV leaves much to be desired.
The best deal I have found so far is for the Samsung X40 for $199, though it may be a misprint since all other stores seem to be selling this for at least $249. It seems like anything under $229 lacks HDMI, which is a real bummer.
Your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
