What is an upscaling DVD player?

0

Upscaling DVD players take a standard definition DVD and “upscale” it to appear to be at a higher resolution. Despite the labels that they are “1080i” or “1080p” DVD upscalers, they are not the same as watching your DVDs in true high definition, since the source content is still limited by the content on the DVD disc itself. What you will see is some increased detail and clearer colors, however. Upscaling works best on displays with fixed pixels–namely plasma or LCD TVs. If you use them with standard CRT televisions or with some projectors, the upscaling feature may not result in a better image. It’s also important to note that all HD DVD and Blu-ray players are excellent DVD upscalers.
