Q. Is a up converting DVD player worth buying, does it work good with a HDTV?
Answer
Upconverting DVD players (or blu-ray players for that matter) are only worthwhile if you have a HDTV. They will do nothing to enhance your image on a regular TV.
Since blu-ray players will also upconvert DVDs on HDTVs, the only reason to buy just an upconverting DVD player instead of a blu-ray player is the fact that upconverting DVD players are under $50 whereas blu-ray players are about $150.

Can you help me fix my DVD player?

Whenever i put a DVD in, it sputters and clicks. Is it broken and is it worth fixing? If it's broken, does anyone know how to fix it?
Answer
If your player sputters and clicks with every DVD you put in it, it is time to get a new one, unfortunately. There are very few serviceable parts inside. Check if your dvd player is still under warranty (unlikely).
With DVD players with great specs around $50 - $70 (upconverting, hdmi output, etc), the labor and parts costs of a repair may not be worth it.
I just feel bad that so many consumer electronics devices (cellphones, dvd players, portable music players, some computers) are so cheaply made that disassembly and repair is impossible. It just adds to the pollution and waste of materials.
