I`m going to do a Test with www.dinside.no

Old test:

The following is to be tested:
HDMI or DVI cabel from player to Projector, What`s best?

Players that are hopefully going to be tested is:
Meridian 800V4 HDMI out
Denon DVD A1 (5910)HDMI out
Onkyo DV-SP1000 HDMI out
All connected to the VP30, interlaced and Progressiv. Passthrough and processed by VP 30.
What gives best result.
Also going to test Sony PSP using the VP30
