If you own a standard difinition t.v. then a $29.00 special will work fine but if you own a hi-def t.v. make sure you buy one with d.v.i. output I bought a DENON 2900 with d.v.i. output and a Gifin d.v.i. switcher so I can switch between my hi-def satellite box and my d.v.d player and they both give me a stunning picture good luck stewart norrie
