Do upscaling DVD players really improve DVD image quality on HDTVs?

I'm not expect it to make a dvd movie look like a blu-ray movie but do upscalers look better on HDTVs then standard DVD players?


Answer
Yes, new dvd players on the market now are up scaling the video signals to 1080P. But if the source dvd is low quality to begin with it's not going to look good. Like transferring very old movies from vhs tape to dvd and upscaling it to 1080P. It does well on normal dvd movies you buy. Hope this helps and good luck.

Can I connect a HD-DVD player to a (non) HDTV?

Answer
Yes, you just will not get the full resolution/quality available from the HD-DVD player. It will look just like a regular DVD does. If you don't have an HDTV, there's not much of a point in getting an HD-DVD player. Since the technology is still very new, I'd hold off until I had an HDTV to make the most out of it. By then the prices will have likely come down quite a bit, and players that play both HD-DVD and BluRay should be out eventually. You don't want to get stuck with a player that you paid $1000 for that only plays one of the two HD formats, especially if later down the road Bluray becomes the standard.
