Zenith model is about $200 more. Only had DVI connection while Samsung has a DVI-HDCP.

Are there other features that are on the Zenith that would make it $200 more?

Jimmy are you sure. Would be great news if it is also HDCP.
Checked out both web sites and Zenith only reflects DVI, while Samsung reflects DVI-HDCP.
Also back of set on zenith does not reflect HDCP.

the zenith and sony hd200 are the same. zenith makes it for sony.I have the sony hd 200 and it is dvi-hdcp.Make sure your tv accepts hdcp or you'll have problems with the connection. dvi-d and dvi-hdcp both use the same cable and connectors so don't be misled by that.

HDCP on Zenith's 520

I talked to Zenith customer service about DVI and asked if the program could turn off component. They said NO. The DVI vs component output was only dependent on the switch setting and independent on the program being sent. I could believe the Zenith did not do HDCP (and I think this may be good).

Also, just because Zenith makes the Sony HD200 doesn't necessarily mean the two are exactly the same design. I would believe they use the same chip set (the data sheets are very similar) but the software doesn't necessarily have to be the same.
