Blue Ray may not be worth it for it for me.
With a all the talk about the new Blue Ray & all, I wanted to add my input about the 1080 upconverter DVD players that are currently being sold.
As I bought it I heard some bad reviews, people saying that they don't up convert, but I noticed the Denon 1910 is doing the job, with DVDs that were originally shot in HD.
I noticed it with Lord Of The Rings, I didn't know my wife had a DVD on, so I clicked the remote to see what HD channel she had on, and to my surprise, it was a DVD in the Denon.
My friend had just bought the Eagles concert that was in HD on NBC recently, & the Denon did it once again.
I was disappointed watching the box set of Friends & Charmed, but was very satisfied with the first season box set of CSI Miami.
Friends & Charmed were not filmed in HD, but all the DVD's I put in that up convert the picture were filmed in HD wide screen, in other words, you can get blood from a stone.
I am a CSI Miami buff, I know that the HD quality in that show is the best out there, on a scale of 1 to 4 I will give CSI Miami a 4.
Face it, we all seen HD shows & movies that don't have the same quality, like NCIS, is not as good as CSI Miami, I would call NCIS a level 2 HD on a scale of 1 to 4.
On the Denon 1910, I would rate CSI Miami about solid 3 HD, on a level of 1 to 4.
If my Denon presents all DVD'd that were recorded in HD at his level, I will not be investing in the new Blue Ray DVD players.
Now that doesn't say much for all the 4.3 DVD's I have, but I'm not too big on buying old DVD's like Happy Days. If this gets released in the new format about to come out, it will be in HD, where my Denon won't do it with the standard DVD,s, again because Happy days was not filmed HD Widescreen.
I noticed that pattern, draw your own conclusion, but I'm sticking with this format.
If anyone is interested in this DVD player, your TV must have a DVI or HDMI input or it will not upconvert.
