So am I to understand that DVI is now becomming passe and HDMI will be the new standard? Gad, this stuff is changing so fast the stuff can't get out the door before some standard is no longer standard. Does this mean the Sencore version with the DVI isn't all that great? If I can pick up an older VP300 that has just the HD component outputs for say 1500.00 would you do that en lieu of the more expensive later models? I'm experiencing info overload here! Phil James M.
