I am looking for a very good dvd player with HDMI output to my projector which has HDMI input. I would like to spend less that $300 but I could spend up to $500 if needed. Any suggestions? I know as people get more into projectors, many will need to switch to these types of DVD players to get the most out of watching DVDs on their Hi Def Projector.
Thanks in advance for your help.

bravo D2 comes to mind.

thx....I am really looking for a player that plays all kinds of formats....are there any region-free HDMI output DVD Players?
again thx.

I'm very interested in a HD capable region free DVD player as well...

Have you looked into the Momitsu DVD-V880? (http://www.extremephono.com/momitsu_dvd_v880.htm).

DVI output, great upconversion to HD, region-free, NTSC/PAL... sounds like it basically has everything you'd want. Just get a DVI->HDMI cable, plug it into your HDTV, and you're good to go.

DENON 5900

I'm pretty sure tat a $2100 DVD player falls outside of the $300 range the poster requested.

Here's a summary of all the upconverting players from avsforum.com:

Thanks for the info guys! One other thing. My projector has only 1 HDMI input. How do I get all things in hi def working thru that 1 input? Is there such think as AV receivers with HDMI input/output? Thanks.

There's this

Should do the job.

for now there's not a lot of options as far as DVI/HDMI switching is concerned. the gefen switch that Lampei posted is one way to go...but it's not cheap. HDMI switching receivers are just now entering the market, and they are mostly found on the high end models. i believe that by the end of '05 they will be a standard feature on most

I just picked up the Panasonic S97, which seems to have the best rep of the current crop of low-priced players. Haven't watched it yet.
