DVD players with VGA output

I am beginning to see DVD players with a VGA output on places like
eBuyer.

I assume that these will feed a monitor, without any need for a TV. As
I don't own a TV, this sounds like a good way of avoiding using a PC
to watch the occasional DVD.

But, hard as look, I cannot find any details of the Umax machine I
have seen. Nothing to tell me about the VGA resolution it will
deliver.

Anyone familiar with these toys? Can they feed a widescreen monitor,
with 1680*1050?

DVD is only 720 ox 576 Hd being twice that so the image will be polarated.
That's a big monitor you have there

Just a 20-inch Philips LCD. Bog standard these days. DVDs look fine
via a PC.

My Samsung 17-inch does 1280X1024.
