Upconvert DVD players?

Bill R

i was at wallmart last night and i came across what the lable called an upconvert DVD it claimed to get regular DVDs up 1080p. Now if it can get things up to 1080p does that mean it will play Blue Rays? Will my TV benifit from this? my TV is a Sanyo 26" HDTV with 720p. do these things acualy work or are they a scam? at walmart they were 50 bucks that seems a little to good to be true for a some thing that can get to 1080p!

Answer
If you want the highest level of performance from older-generation DVD-Video discs the best up-converting DVD players are nonpareil.

When it comes to digital video disc players you basically have two major groups of up-converting disc players from which to choose: (a) high-definition, i.e., Blu-ray Disc (as well as the now defunct HD DVD,) and (b) non-Blu-ray Disc, non-HD DVD up-converting video disc players. Regardless of whether you choose an up-converting video disc player from group (a) or group (b), hands-down the very best up-converting video disc players on the market today are produced by OPPO Digital.

The following is intended to help you choose the digital video disc player thatâs best for you. If you spend a fair amount of time watching DVD movies on a reasonably decent display (your Sanyo HDTV is sufficient)âand video image quality is paramountâthen I highly recommend you seriously consider purchasing a high performance up-converting DVD player such as one of the models from OPPO Digital. HOWEVER⦠if youâre eager to take the plunge into the world of Blu-ray, and you spend little time watching movies on standard DVD-Video discs and/or you have a fairly small movie collection on DVD-Video, or you feel that the OPPO DVD players are beyond your budget, and youâre not a videophile who is prone to obsessing over obtaining the nth degree of performance from your DVD-Video disc collection, then you may be better-off purchasing a Blu-ray Disc player. The bottom line: if you donât have a significant investment in DVD-Video discs and/or youâre unwilling to purchase an OPPO DVD player then you should consider purchasing a good quality Blu-ray Disc player.
