Hi guys, it's my first here.
I just bought myself a 37" Sharp Aquos LCD TV and I Want the best DVD player to go with it.

Here is what I want:

I want something that will play my XviD/DivX movies and TV episodes in the best possible quality (I have recently heard of DivX HD and XviD HD, what are those and how are they different from any other divx/xvid format?)

I want something that has HDMI support, as I do not want to have 6 cables going down my wall from the DVD player

If possible, the option to store MP3 Songs in a DVDR and play them in the dvd player (instead of buying an ipod docking station for my room).

I also want to make sure that it has a very good resoltion + progressive scan so it can take advantage of my brand new LCD

I was looking at the Helios X3620. What do you guys think about it? Should I be looking at something else?

thank you VERY much for all your help!

People seem to speak highly of the LG LDA-511. It seems to fit your needs.

When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost, makes demands in exchange for singularity, and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like the Earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust that when you have served its needs faithfully, there may still remain some glimmer of the life you once knew.
