Introduction

As the battle lines were forming over future high definition DVD formats Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, impatient home theater enthusiasts have been drawn to standard definition DVD players featuring up-conversion and high definition outputs. These DVD players can convert your standard DVD video to 480p, 720p, or 1080i resolutions for use with your HDTV. The theory is that with some signal processing, the video quality can be improved enough to justify converting to a higher resolution format for compatibility with high definition televisions featuring inputs such as HDMI, DVI or component video.

 

We decided to put the theory to the test with the LG LGDVB418 DVD player.

“The DVD player works great with regular RCA jacks. When I hook up the HDMI cable I lose the sound. Furthermore, every time I switch the video source on the TV and go back to the DVD player, I have to reset the 180i button. I wouldn't recommend buying this...” More...
