Currently there is a big debate going on, in one corner we have Sony Blu-ray and in the other we have the Up-scaling or Up-converting DVD technology. Visually, there is very little difference to the eye of the average consumer between 720p and 1080i. However, 720p can deliver a slightly smoother-looking image, due to the fact that lines and pixels are displayed in a consecutive pattern, rather than in an alternate pattern.
The up-scaling process does a good job of matching the up-scaled pixel output of a DVD player to the native pixel display resolution of an HDTV capable television, resulting in better detail and color consistency.
However, up-scaling, as it is currently implemented, cannot convert standard DVD images into true high-definition images. In fact, although up-scaling works well with fixed pixel displays, such as Plasma and LCD televisions, results are not always consistent on CRT-based high definition televisions. DVD video up-scaling is only an approximation of the high definition viewing experience. To get the full impact of true high definition viewing from a disc format, you need to have a Blu-ray player connected to an HDTV via an HDMI connection and be viewing actual Blu-ray or HD-DVD disc content.
One Helpful Hint: If you DO have an HDTV, and a standard DVD player, you will get the best results using the Component video connection (red-blue-green) between the DVD player and the HDTV.
