some reviewer made the comment that it was a bigger screen with the same resolution as the previous model, reducing overall quality.

the screen resolution and quality is good, but not great.

Toshiba XD-E500 Player

$85.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i only used this with my 1080p 42" lcd tv, so i don't know how well it pairs with larger screens or different resolutions.
from www.amazon.com
it not only upconverts the vertical resolution from 480 to 1080p but enhances the fine detail of the picture in the horizontal resolution in a way that does not raise the noise content in the program
from www.amazon.com
after all, standard dvd video is fixed at 480i/p and there's no way to improve actual resolution if the information isn't there in the first place.
from www.amazon.com
i set the xd-e resolution at 1080p24 since my tv can handle it.
from www.amazon.com
the resolution on blu-ray is outstanding with detail that will stun any viewer.

Panasonic DMP-BD60K Blu-ray/

$214.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
the pictures on picasa website are very crisp and in high resolution (but accompanied every time by the same background music that gets annoying).
from www.amazon.com
it will be interesting to see how the resolution looks when it upconverts xena dvds.
from www.amazon.com
out of the box settings were fine for the most part--i tweaked the front light to be dimmer, set the resolution from "auto" to 1080p, set the 24p output to on, and hdmi rgb output range to enhanced.
from www.amazon.com
i prefer to play standard dvds at their standard resolution.

they've now added support for hd streaming on netflix and it is really good, it's about equivalent with dvd quality (the high compression inevitably causes artifacts, and high resolution blocks are
from www.amazon.com
if i were to knock anything about this player, it would be its tendency to forget the resolution setting once you turn the unit off.
from www.amazon.com
when i connected it up to my hdtv i couldn't believe that within minutes i was watching superior resolution with my older dvds, and mindblowing action with "wanted" on blu-ray.
from www.amazon.com
after having returned the first thinking it was a problem with the component jacks it ended up being the default of 480p resolution for video outoput.
from www.amazon.com
great quality, picture resolution, the upgrade on the firmware went smoothly and i get the option of watching netflix movies whenever it's convenient for me.

i tried a wide variety of resolutions and file sizes and still it isn't picky about what you feed it.

i tried playing a 720p copy of a show i recorded, and it refused to play the file, saying that the "resolution was not supported" or something like that.

from www.amazon.com
it will play dvd-audio discs with dolby digital and dts, but not the advanced resolution audio stream.
from www.amazon.com
when i fisrt set it up, there was a conflict between the player and the tv set, the tv (panny 50" plasma) was not understanding the resolution (1080p) right off and it just took some playing around
from www.amazon.com
excellent image quality on blu-ray discs; profile 2.0 compliant; onboard decoding for all high-resolution soundtrack formats, plus bit-stream output.but playstation 3 offers much more functionality
from www.amazon.com
we have gone back to using monster z300sv-8m ultra high resolution s-video cable (8 meters)and this has fixed the problem with no apparent degradation in picture.
from www.amazon.com
for those of you trying to compare 720p to 1080p, all i can tell you that do not let the lower resolution keep away from purchasing a blu ray player.

the upconvert function on dvd players is kind of a marketing gimmick because your lcd or plasma tv has to upscale to its native resolution anyway, so unless you spring for an oppo the tv usually does
from www.amazon.com
maximum resolution is 720x480@30fps, which means that it can't play hdtv encodings, such as 720p.

i'm on a 3mbps connection, and while the quality isn't quite up to dvd standard for the most part (my resolution is set at 1080i), it is close, and some movies actually do look as good as a dvd.
from www.amazon.com
because the player can't detect and correct for the underlying 2:2 or 3:2 cadence, 1080i material is actually resolved at half resolution (1920x540 pixels), which means you effectively lose half of

i believe it automatically blocks anything with a resolution over 480p or 540p, not sure where the cutoff is.
from www.amazon.com
not only was this limiting their resolution, it wouldn't allow the aspect ratio to be set correctly.

i have hoped to find a bd player that can play full resolution "rips" of my bd and dvd discs.
from www.amazon.com
after many calls to technical support and e-mail chats, they told me that the lg bd300 offers resolution at only 480i when dvi or component connections are used.
from www.amazon.com
the first thing i did after i connected everything and turned it on was have to figure out how to manually change the resolution without being able to see what i was doing.
from www.amazon.com
today i got this in the email: "...when you are streaming with the bd300 needs a minimum connection of 1.5 mb/sec for standard dvd movies, and you tube only needs 700kb/secs; while high definition

i'll never be fooled into thinking that this player loads disks as fast as a normal dvd player, but that's a price we pay for the 1080p resolution.
