DVD players that upconvert can be purchased online or from local electronic stores. It should be noted that if you have an LCD, DLP or plasma television, an upconverting DVD player may not increase the quality of the DVD being played further. These kinds of television already scale up the picture being received from the DVD player. Take a note of your television brand and model and speak to an expert before purchasing an upconverting DVD player.
