Is Samsungs BD wise technology in a DVD player just a fancy word for upscaling?

best dvd player 1080p image

Sony has a DVD player that up scales DVDS to 1080p as well......what's the difference?

Answer
yes and no. While it certainly includes upscaling it also sets contrast and colour to "optimize" the picture. Note it works only if both the player and the TV support it. Upscaling DVD players are common (and all BD players upscale DVDs) but they only change resolution (and image quality varies widely depending on the sophistication of the video processor used). See the link for more.

Can anyone recommend a good upconverting DVD player?

I am planning to buy an LCD TV that supports 1080p. Should I buy a upconverting DVD player with 1080i or 1080p support since I heard 1080i is good enough.

Answer
Sure, at least until the industry sorts out all of the

formats. That's what I did. I own the Oppo DV-981HD.

Otherwise, you could consider the LG player that plays

both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Discs if the high price is

not out of the question. A 1080i resolution is plenty

good enough for HDTV sizes of 37" or smaller.
