I'm new to the whole HDTV thing and I just have a few questions. I have a 720p HDTV, a LCD 26" Sylvania. It does not have DVI inputs, but it does have every other kind, including HDMI. However, most of the discussions centering around HD upconversion seem to involve large-screen TVs and 1080i or better. Would an upconverting DVD player make a difference with this TV, given the inputs, screen size and resolution capability?
there has been alot of discussion on this subject already here is just one link to a recent discussion. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/395872 but there are many others look through the forums if the link I provided doesn't answer your questions.
If you buy a good up-convert DVD player that has video processing that is better than whats in your tv then it might be worth it. As long as your using Component Video cables with Progressive Scanning you should be seeing a pretty good picture. FYI: Up-conversion only works through HDCP compatible connections like HDMI (v1.1) and newer DVI connections (with copy protected DVDs). If you choose to upgrade to an up-convert DVD player make sure you use the HDMI connctions. Ced
