Hello guys,

I want to set up a small home theater system in my room, I need a good future proof DVD player , good Speakers and a 1 TB External hard disk. I already have Dell S2240L 21.5 inch monitor.

1. DVD player
-->Must support all video and audio formats as i will download videos from internet.
-->Support for HDMI to connect it to my monitor ( Dell S2240L 21.5 inch )
-->Support for USB to connect my External hard drive.

2. Need good speakers.

3. Need 1TB external hard disk.
Was thinking of buying this
WD My Passport Ultra 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard Drive - WD: Flipkart.com

Total Budget is 15k

I don't think the DVD/Blu-Ray players in the market will support all media formats via USB. They will support very limited formats and really cheap. Rs. 2000.

You can look onto Asus O!Play Mini (Rs. 4000) or WD TV Live (Rs. 6000) for that purpose. Buy an external hard drive to go with it.

Edit: On a funny note, "future proof" and "DVD" - these two words don't go hand in hand. :p
