You can also use the component cables (the 5 cables with the green, blue etc) This will make it in 1080i. The naked eye can tell zero difference between 1080p & 1080i. The p stand for progressive & the i for interlaced. Both are high quality HDTV. The HDMI & 1080p is newer & considered to be the best though.
No. DVD quality will be displayed whether the player is a DVD player or a Bluray player. DVDs won't be the same quality as a Bluray disc of course.
A DVD player is a better decision than a BluRay player based on price alone. This type of player is cheaper. A BluRay player may be a better idea because it can also play DVDs and has more advanced features.
No, it will not play Bluray discs, but it is upscaling, so you can watch your regular DVDs at HD quality.
All you need to connect a DVD player are standard component cables. When using progressive scan than you might have to get 5 cables component cables instead of the usual 3. In most lower end TVs the picture difference will be not noticeable. However if you have a better setup than it might be worth it to invest in something a little better.
No, they don't. Bluray players are capable of playing HD video content which is better quality than standard definition video. However, a Bluray player used to reply a DVD in standard definition will not improve the resolution of the image. This is the case even when the player up-scales the image to an HD format.
Any television will work with a Bluray player but to get the full quality of the Bluray format, you will need an HD television with an HDMI input. Televisions that do not have an HMDI input can use the analog output from the player but the signal will be SD rather than HD.
Most home theater systems require only the basic Audio and Visual cables, commonly known as AV cables. These are what connect the player (that is your DVD/BluRay/Etc) to the TV itself. HDMI cables may also be required to set up digital cable.
Beacaus bluray is newer and they think everybody has a bluray player... eventually it will come on dvd.
No. You need a BluRay player that specifically says it can read 3-D disks
It would be better to have 2 seperate units for optimum performance.
As far as I know, Mac Blu-ray Player is perfectly compatible with Mac. Now I use it to play Blurays on my Mac. The outputting quality is really good. Just now it made the DTS5.1 available, so the audio quality is even better. Recentlly it has a big discount for the New Year.
Bluray players are backwards compatible so they will play standard DVDs as well as Bluray discs. Note that although the DVD is being played by a Bluray player, it does not make it HD quality. Some bluray players will up-convert the standard definition image from 480 or 576 lines up to 1080 lines but although the format is HD, the image quality still remains standard definition.
