DVD player with HDMI output and component input?

Martin

My main "TV" is actually a monitor, so it doesn't have traditional TV inputs like RCA or RGB. Right now, my current Wii setup is this:

Wii > (Composite Cables) > DVD Player > (HDMI Cable) > Monitor

This is a pretty good setup with one problem: the Wii can only connect to the DVD player through composite cables, so I'm limited to 480i. Are there any good DVD players that have both component input and HDMI output so that I can play my Wii games in progressive scan mode?

Answer
DVD players do not have inputs - DVD recorders have inputs.

What you need is a component to HDMI converter:

Answer
One advantage of HDMI cables is that it's all bundled in a single run. So it's easier hookup and less mess behind the equipment. For 1080p video games, you'll notice a slight difference between HDMI cables and good Component cables. Beyond that, it's worthless.

HDMI is just a cable; it doesn't upgrade anything. Your DVD apparently has an upconverter so you have the option of using an HDMI cable for direct connection. Saying that converting a standard signal to an HD signal will improve it is like saying that spraying perfume on a dog turd will improve it. The axiom has ALWAYS been: Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Use your HDMI cable if you like. It won't hurt anything. It also won't help anything, no matter what the geek hype. It's purely up to you.
