hello there, just purchased a cyberhome 665 model at wal mart. 90$ it has all the outputs you need including hdmi(for my plasma monitor) it is one of those upconvert models i'm no expert on how it works but it did improve the picture quality from 480p to 1080p. it plays my originals and also my backups (dvd-r, dvd+r)and the usual mp3 jpg. if you have a wal mart nearby check it out.....good luck
