broken on arrival
(1 out of 5) by Stephen Kline on Oct 16, 2007 (Camarillo, CA United States)When this unit arrived, it would only display the main menu if a disk wasn't inserted. Once a disk, any disk, was inserted the output from the hdmi port went away with only an occasional, miscolored, out-of-sync image flashing across the screen. The svhs output functioned normally, but that's not why I purchased this thing. I returned it to Amazon.

Just got this
(3 out of 5) by john lee on Feb 12, 2007 (nyc, ny)Looks a little better than my old dvd player, but nothing like watching HD tv. 720p HDTV looks better. Not worth the money

Upconverter???
(2 out of 5) by Juan Pablo Unigarro on Mar 31, 2007 (Houston, TX)I bought this DVD wishing to improve the picture quality of my old dvd collection. I didn't notice anything when compare to my old $33 dvd. I don't understand any review made on this item. The image is not even close to hd 780p, so why is this DVD called upconverter HD 1080p? The upconvertion might be because it has a HDMI output, but nothing else. The images displayed are comparable to any other dvd player. I'm going to keep it anyway because it is very flat and it fits my cabinet. But if you are looking to upconvert your old dvd collection to HD 1080p , forget it. The only way to watch HD 1080p is with the blueray dvd or the HD dvd.
In other hand, I believe that if you have a high-end HDTV they come with internal upconverters that won't let you notice any difference when comparing this product to any other dvd. Keep your money for... !speakers!.

Why I only gave 1 star
(1 out of 5) by Richard A. Sunde on Aug 21, 2007 (Hoffman Estates, IL United States)No where does the info for this product does it state that it does NOT play HD-DVD discs... Therefore the info provided is not complete... If your looking for both the ability to play HD-DVD discs and up grade to near HD DVD, This is NOT the player you should be looking at. Also, if you want to be able to get other remotes to work with this product, they do not have their codes with larger manufactures so they can be incorporated. The unit itself plays back great, but impossible to integrate with other manufactures equipment... Better spend 30-50 $ more not to suffer the inconvenience.
