Heard that upconverting dvd players don't make a difference on DLP?

Question

Is this true? Because I was planning on getting a 65' Rear-projection tv but why doesn't upconverting work and what will I do in that case?

Answer 1

Ive got a 56" Samsung projection DLP. I bought the samsung upconvert and didnt like it, so I bought the panasonic and I love it. They do work.

Answer 2

the tv really doesn't do much in the up conversion process.  What makes the difference is the component that is doing the up conversion.

Answer 3

yeah Brian is right.  It all depends on the player and how well it upconverts.  Some are better than others but they arent going to really get near a true high def dvd format like blueray.  It will definitely improve upon a regular dvd player and should look just fine on that TV.
