I have an ASUS O!Play (all video format media player) connected to my flat screen TV via HDMI cable. In addition, I have a Yamaha amplifier for superior sound. That's it. No video conversions ever. I, literally, put my old dvd player in the garbage. No more CDs or DVDs. End of story.
This media player is the best (I found). It can decode, edit & synchronize subtitles better than any other unit. Subtitles can be downloaded and displayed on your screen (very easy thing to do). It can play music and display your photos (ethernet enabled as well).
In a few years, DVD players are to become obsolete. Yesterday, Blockbuster video (a chain of video clubs) went belly up! Nowadays people download & play data files (.mkv .avi .mp4 etc).
I agree with you georgios. I haven't rented a DVD for years and I never bothered to buy a blu-ray player. It is all coming from the internet now. Physical media will be obsolete before the end of the decade.
