Hopefully trainerdave can chime in here. 
I was planning on waiting for the new crop of DVI-DVD players come out in the next few months before making a purchase. Not interested in the D1 or the HD931 and the 5900 is too expensive.
One of the main reasons I want to wait is that some of them are saying they will output 1366x768. From where I'm sitting this sounds great. No DAC (since you would go DVI) and no scaling by the panel.
However, I was PM'ing with pooperscooper and he mentioned that the AVM cannot be bypassed. Fair enough - I realize that. But I would still think that the image would still be improved over 480p/720p/1080i output even though the AVM processes the signal, unless of course the scaler in the DVD player is not as good as the AVM. Thoughts?
