An upconverting DVD player converts regular DVD video to a resolution — like 720p, 1080i or 1080p — that more closely matches the screen resolution of HDTVs. The picture looks noticeably sharper than a regular DVD player, but it’s not really high-def because the original source, the DVD, isn’t high definition.
