And better - I've not been happy with computer-DVD player results on TV,

even with the "S" output of the video cards, but the excellent Koss DVD player

sold at Sears (for $27!!!!! - now $40...) does a great job, and it has all the

connectors (RCA RGB/composite/audio + S + digital 5.1). Why bother going

through combinations of gear when a good DVD player is so cheap?

(Heck, buy three, as I did...! ;-)
