best upscaling dvd player 1080p image
J.O.I.
As a former DVD collector and home theatre salesperson, I remember hearing that in order to sell more Blu-ray and HD-DVD around 2006, all upcoming DVD players' capable resolution would be scaled down from 720p to 480p. The best DVD player I've owned is from 2005 and is capable of 1080i via component video.
Now I tell customers this, that older DVD players were actually better resolution-wise than those that have come since but I'm having trouble finding legitimate sources to back up this claim. I'm not sure how current upscaling players compare, either.
Can you help me find something?
Answer
Keep in mind that DVD video resolution was only at the 480P. DVD players prior to that date never up scaled the video, now they up scale to 720P. Also you can not see the difference between 720P and 1080P in screen smaller than a 46". Most major manufacturer have stopped producing stand alone DVD players due to the Blu Ray disc player can play the DVD and up scale to 1080P if you have a DVD. Also the higher end players will do a better job up scaling than those bargain price unit. They never did down grade the DVD players. You are providing wrong information to the customer. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I recommend you read Home Theater Magazine reviews on all products and the pro and con of each technology. Hope this will help you out.

Will a Blu-Ray player improve the resolution of standard DVDs?

I already have a High-Def TV, and a regular DVD player that upscales to 1080p
Both products are Sony's, and the DVD is a 5.1 home theater system with no DTS.
Answer
It depends on what blu ray player and what DVD player your talking about but just generally speaking a good quality Blu ray player will do a better job of upscaling than an older DVD of mid to low quality....
