Zenith DVB318 1080i Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Psuedo-HD for your DVDs
This DVD player is great.  The upconverting to 1080i for DVD really makes your DVD picture quality approach HDTV levels.  I use it connected to my HDTV over the component outputs, since the one DVI connection is used by my HD-Satellite connection.  I got mine for VERY cheap on Amazon.com just last week, and it plays like hi-end expensive DVD players in the $500-1000 range.  It has the same electronic upconvert chip as the expensive ones. <br />Think about your great HDTV only getting 5-10 HD channels.  The rest of the time your are watching SDTV or 480 line DVDs.  What a waste of your investment.  <br />IMPORTANT- the new versions have a block to stop you upconverting copy-protected DVDs, so it is only 20% useful. <br />BUT, do a search on LGROMOUT on the internet and get the firmware that allows you to upconvert ANY DVD to 1080i.  It is well worth the trouble for the result.  (Make your friends jealous!!) <br />
