Hello,

I am considering getting a new DVD player with upconvertor capability. Just wondering, is it really better? I can't help relating it to my experience with digitial photos, and when I try to enlarge them, they start to look pixelated. They say you can't add pixels where there aren't any....I am assuming that the broadcasters have upcoverters that cost thousands when they show a DVD. My guess is the upconvertor in the $250 DVD player must be a mass-produced chip, so I would really like to hear from someone who bought one of these and hear what their impressions are..thanks.
