Now, I need to decide if I wanna buy a DVD for my PC or for the TV...

decisions, decisions...

My advice would be to go for the TV DVD. We got ours just before Christmas. We bought a good quality middle of the range unit.

The improvement in picture quality ( even on our 15 YO TV ) between a DVD and the VHS tape version of the same movie, was far greater than we expected.

We haven't gone the whole kit with home theatre yet, but even patching the DVD audio output through our stereo system made a huge difference in sound realism as well.

Although some DVD's have PC DVD functions that I can't use at present,( PC only has CD-ROM ) the prime purpose of our DVD was to watch movies, not play with extras ...
