you could use a consumer bluray player for higher def than dvd, and u= se a usb stick for your media. there's going to be a slight lag at the end= of the media when it loops, but a lot shorter with usb than with optical = discs.

i've set this up a few times recently using samsung= bluray players.

i haven't had any experience usi= ng the usb port on any hdtv, but unless it's a "smart" display, i'd be dou= btful they support looping.

the other end o= f the price spectrum would be to consider one of the barco media players. = zero latency in looping and a lot of other features. perhaps the barco dms= 100/200.
