ok so finally after a lot of hagging and researching i ended up buying the samsung 1080pk. its got optical out btw avi... i did get hdmi cable as well. the remote is nice, picture quality is great as well all for rs. 4100. i missed out on the pioneer even though its great that it was for rs. 6600, it was not available anywhere and did not come with hdmi cable plus no warranty as well. samsung seemed like a good deal in future ill hook it up with a amp and speakers so i get my DTS decoding too...... usb is gr8 too now plug in and watch movies im loving it
