Do those upconvert DVD players really work? Is the picture really that much better for regular DVD's?

Q. I have a 50 inch plasma HDTV and a large collection of DVD's and would hate to have to replace them with HD or Blue Ray DVD's.

A. It's all a marketing gimmick.

Your Hi Def TV up samples the video sizes 480p to 1080p/720p to fit on your screen, same as the DVD players.

There is no real magic with these DVD players. You can't magically make the image quality 4-8 times better by some $5 video chip.


Which high definition television should I purchase?
Q. I would like to purchase an HDTV within the next year, something with a 40 to 50 inch screen. My price range is $2000.00 or less. Does anyone have any recommendations?

A. I just got a SONY XBR4, 40 inch. It was $1999 when I got it and the picture quality is fantastic ! You cant go wrong with SONY and it has the 120 hz refresh rate so there is no lag with Sports programs.


What is a great HDTV I can get that is at least 42 inches?
Q. I would prefer 50 inches. I want a really good tv with full hd.
I am looking for great picture quality.

A. Is full HD the only thing you want, or are you wanting all the other features like web apps or 3D?

If full HD is all you are concerned about you could go for the 42 inch Vizio E420VL online at target.com right now for $598 but with the online code "TOEY738U" they knock it down to $538.20 with free shipping. I just bought one today!

It is 42 inches 1080p and 120hz. it also has a fair number of hook-ups, usb, vga, etc. It doesn't have web apps, but you can easily plug your computer into it with the VGA or other hookups and do a lot more than you can with apps.

I guess to better answer the question you may need to give more details into what you want.
