HDMI connections dont offer more resolution. They do allow digital video and audio to travel the same line-all digital audio BUT SACD!(in theory) Some interfaces-depending on the equiptment will only pass the video portion. The real advantage of the connection is that it avoids d/a and a/d conversions in the video and audio relms.
Some players offer what they call "upconversion". There are only 480 lines of "visible resolution" on any dvd produced yet. So, "upconverting" 480 lines to 720 or even worse 1080 is adding a whole lot of computer made up information(garbage) that probably will make the picture worse than a really good 480p chip set will make.
Dont get caught by the more is better and newer is better and digital is better with video signals. Most of the same rules apply to video as audio (I will not even mention the old vinal v/s cd war, we all know the winner of that one)Unless we are talking hidef...Which dvd IS NOT there YET!!!
So, I say try them both, look with your eyes and pick the one that looks the most natural-cable and resolution...
