i'm replacing my gf's sony htib with an onkyo ht-s660 5.1 and a separate dvd player, later moving the tv to (probably) a samsung rp-dlp set.
my questions are regarding the dvd player itself. bear in mind i would like to, as always, spend as little as possible on this (think $200 or less?).
1: does it even matter if i buy a progressive scan player if i buy a good hdtv set? couldn't i just use its de-interlacing? why wouldn't i?
2: why is everyone so interested in dvi/hdcp/hdmi capability for a 480p signal? should i be interested as well?
3: black or silver? it seems some is available as both, some not. i'm concerned about matching, and it would seem that black is easier to match across vendors than silver.
lord knows these are probably dupes but the popularity of this forum makes searching a chore. a wiki-based faq for questions like these would seem to be a good idea.
