Compare and contrast wall-mounted DVD players

Wall-mountable DVD players are a boon to those who do not have enough floor space for an entertainment unit. These DVD players can either be installed on DVD shelves or mounted straight against the wall in the same way as flat-screen TVs. One thing to consider is the choice of cable to be used. Featured here is a comparison of different cable options. This article compares and contrasts wall-mounted DVD players.

Cabling choices

When it comes to wall-mountable DVD players, the choice of which cable to use becomes important. Most DVD players offer HDMI output which can be connected to flat-screen TVs using HDMI to HDMI cables. However, if the television does not accept HDMI, then the following options can be considered: DVI cables
A DVI (Digital Visual Interface) cable allows you to receive the best digital picture when using an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) flat panel, TV or digital projector. Transmitting DVI over Cat 5 cables is also possible. VGA cables
A VGA cable transmits data in analogue format, which is not as great as digital. Hence, DVI cables are a preferred option for better signal quality and less distortion.
