My old man has been using an old BBK DVD player with his plasma TV.

I saw the Pioneer 410V HDMI upscaling DVD player in PCM (local computer-AV-gadget mag) and told him about it. He went around shopping and bought one from Fortress in Causeway Bay. But he forgot to grab an HDMI cable, so it is now plugged into the plasma via a component cable. Will upgrade soon.

The best thing about this DVD player is the USB socket (for plugging a USB thumbdrive, or better still, a honking big HD) and plays DivX encoded movies. Oh it does 1080p, not that the plasma can go this high.

Will test it some more when my old man picks up the HDMI cable.
