Toshiba HD-A1 HD-DVD Player
Best HD Player even it only 1080i
HD DVD's look crisp, deep, vivid and 3-D, all the things u like. Take the best looking DVD's (Superbit's) and u may notice the 3-D look in faces, now spread that 3-D look to whole picture and u have Hd DVD. Don't be fooled by Blue Ray 1080P. Most of HD DVD's are rated better looking and more 3-D in appearance than blue ray. Lastly if you're so keen on 1080P simply purchase a 1080P TV and the TV will up convert your 1080i Toshiba into 1080P w/no loss in resolution or degradation in Picture Quality why? 100 percent digital (HDMI) converted to 100 percent digital = 100 percent digital. (Think MP3's) Finally, the best part is my Toshiba takes my regular DVD's especially superbit's and up converts them to 1080i better than my oppo wow! It's like enjoying my entire regular DVD's all over again its quite noticeable. For the record I am viewing on a Samsung 1080P 67inch Dlp TV. At 499 and 799 it's cheaper than blue ray and better looking, make sure u have the update or download.
