May seem like a silly question but......I have dual displays, a 50" Plasma and DLP PJ both 720p and seating distance is 15ft. My AVR does not have dual HDMI outs and i'd like to be able to send source content to both displays. The only way to do this is all source gear inputs at AVR using component with component passing to the PJ and the AVR processing to HDMI and sending to the Plasma. I've got pre amp ins on my AVR so i'm not concerned with HD audio via HDMI. I've come to love this AVR (Sony ES) and rather not spend $1k+ to replace it. I've tried those HDMI matrix active splitters and well lets just say not very user friendly for the rest of the family. My concern is video quality and if HDMI is going to produce a better image....i'll get out my checkbook but if not...........
