Guest swirlundergrounder Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 I have a Sony DVD player (a Sony dvp ns71hp) that can upscale to 720 and 1080i. It has an HDMI output. Can I play HD DVD's in the player and get the same results as I would if I had an 'HD DVD' player??? Or are HD DVDs not compatible with this player?

KiddSKYdrol1414779018 Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 you need a HD-DVD player to play HD-DVD'syou need a BLU-RAY player to play BLUR-RAY dvd'sboth of these players also upscale regualar dvd's.If you are planing on getting a standalone i would get a toshiba HD-DVD player off amazon.com for like $240 shipped that includes like 7 free hd-dvd movies. or wait a lil bit.. rumor has it hd-dvd players will be $200- soonIf you have a xbox360 you can get the HD-DVD add-on accessory for $180 w/ 6 hd-dvd movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 It's like upscaling a photo in Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiddSKYdrol1414779018 Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 upscaling is cool.. it looks a bit better than normal dvd's.. though it will never look or sound as good as a native HD movie.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Depends on the upscaling technique used. Sometimes the display does it better than the player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
