If ZR is correct, then the Samsung HD-1000 is the only "potential" out of the box 720p player [HTPC not included]. Until someone has the HD-1000, it might as well be .... a Q75. Since the Philips SA963 uses the same fli2300 chip as the Samsung HD-1000 and experimental Q75, it theoretically has the capability to output 720p. Europe has the SA963 and have successfully hacked it to multi-region and pal-progressive. |
Honestly, I think the real trick is to get the DVD to do 540p or 720p - this will make the player run at a native scan rate for nearly all HD capable sets. [/b] |
Originally posted by CupertinoSlim I would NOT want to get a DVI output from non-HD source like current DVDs. Your TV set is going to have just one DVI port, so why waste it on a signal that can pass through component connections just fine? |
Originally posted by CupertinoSlim Rather than perfect a DVD signal that's sub-HDTV, and have the D-A/A-D in my HDTV path, I'd rather put the DVI to use where it will make a big difference, like HD satellite, or D-VHS, etc. My point is if you just have one DVI port, why not use it for the highest resolution source? |
