Up-Sampler

Comment comment by VnutZ on 13 February 2008

Has anybody actually used one of the upsampling DVD players that is supposed to make them look super sharp on an HDTV? Just curious how they perform.

Movie on Demand For Teh Win by Bortnyk :: NR6

I like being able to click on a movie and watch it, without having to put any effort into it. I would go so far as to say I would rather watch a mediocre movie on demand than a good movie I had to go someplace to get, like blockbuster or some other DVD rental store. To much driving, and interacting with people, and talking, and sunlight....

RE: Up-Sampler by Anonymous :: NR0

I have.

I bought a SAMSUNG HD-TV, and since most of the DVDs we own are just plain DVDs that I have no intention of re-buying in a high-def format, I got the SAMSUNG $99 upscaling DVD player.

It works great! It does struggle with DVDs that are full-frame format instead of WideScreen (I think the source DVDs have fewer pixels, but I don't know for sure)
