I have recently purchased the new Toshiba 42ZV555DB LCD TV which upscales SD signals to near HD quality. I was a bit sceptical but the difference is unbelievable. The pictures are so sharp. High quality bitrate signals like the BBC news look like the presenter is 3D!! That's on normal Freeview aswell!!
As I am always lookin for the best picture possible I thought I would give Toshiba's new XDE 500 DVD player a go, as the new TV lived up to claims. I already have a PS3, Toshiba HD player and a very expensive Denon upscaler attached to the TV. All of which do a very fine job with standard DVD's. You would not believe the difference this player made!!
My two bench mark DVD's are always Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith and Monsters Inc. I was absolutely gobsmacked at how good these films looked. I would honestly say they were HD quality or a smidge under. I then tried other DVD's leaving the player in 'sharp mode'. Finding Nemo and The Incredibles look amazing. The colour and clarity make me wonder why I have ever bothered forking out lots of money for Bluray movies! I haven't tried lower quality dvd's yet but I am sure it will work wonders on them too. I am going to get a copy of Meet The Robinsons on DVD and compare it to my Bluray copy as that is the benchmark on Bluray in my opinion.
