Samsung DVD-HD950 HD Conversion DVD Player , Black
Dont throw away your DVDs!................(yet)
Of course, none of us wants to throw out their dvd collection right after buying an HDTV, right? well, then you have to go for this DVD player. DVDs are encoded on 480p (most) and this player \\"up-codes\\" that signal into 720p or 1080i (i much rather use 720p with my tv). It decodes audio AMAZINGLY (im using the optical output with a toshiba amp.) both Dolbdy Digital and DTS. Now the VIDEO QUALITY, well, AMAZING, honestly, almost as good as pure HD, ALMOST! Im using the HDMI output directly to the HDMI input of my Sharp 37\\" LCD.  It comes with a number of different display options in case there are black bars on top and bottom (or sides, like regular tv shows) of the image and you want to get rid of those. Honestly, Samsung has become THE brand to consider when I buy a HD DVD Player next year (2007) and then, well, yeah, then thrown out your dvds into that special desiganted area at the city dump next to the 8tracks, cassettes, laser discs........
