Last week I mentioned that I was ordering an Up-Converting DVD Player and it got here on Friday. I hooked it up yesterday, did the set up (which took all of 2 minutes) and then watched Miami Vice. I’m impressed.

It’s not HD like sporting events are & it’s not quite HD like regular TV shows are, but it’s a lot better than the regular DVD player that I have (which I now have to find a home for - lol)

One of the cool things that Samsung DVD-HD960 Up-Converting DVD Player lets you do is cycle between 480, 720 & 1080, which means you can see what it used to look like compared to what the player can do.

For $160, I highly recommend it.

I don’t think I’m ready to buy a High Def DVD player just yet. 1st off, the obvious problem is which one to buy. The 2nd problem is the cost (everyone knows that DVD players were really pricey when they 1st came out)

But I was in the doctors office today reading an old Popular Mechanics and on their Christmas 2006 Wish List, they had a small review of the Samsung DVD-HD960 Up-Converting DVD Player which allows you to play regular DVD’s on your HDTV at near HD quality. And since my DVD player is about 8 or 9 years old and this one is only $160, I decided to order one today. Stay tuned for the review.
