If Blu-ray players upscale DVDs to 1080p HD display after wouldnt it be pointless to buy Blu-ray movies??
DVDs are cheaper than Blu-ray movies and they both look indistinguishable in a Blu-ray player if you enjoy a 1080p TV... am I right or wong?
Answers: Not really.
While DVDs can be scaled to fit the HD peak and the picture has 1920 x 1080 pixels and is drawn progressively (i.e. 1080p) the DETAIL within the image can't clash that of the the same picture record in 1080p.
The prime problem is you can't put in detail that isn't within the original lower resolution model. See the article at the link for further explanation.
Take a 720x480 (about 350k pixel ) JPEG and size it up to 1920x1080
Now take a 1920x1080 (about 2 mpixel JPEG). Which one do you suggest will be sharper and have more detail?
Scaling up fits the peak, but it can only estimate the interpolated pixels.
Blu-ray DIsks are mastered contained by 1080p, while all DVD's created are record in 480i. No event what Up-scaler you get, DVD content is 480i, so it will not own the detail as a Blu-ray Disk.
I always say aloud to folks Garbage in, Garbage out. You can't polish a Turd!
