View profile »The Super Resolution(aka Super Upconversion) output is truely 960p, and journalists who have seen the demo at trade shows like CEDEC and CES vouched that it really worked. Previously, Super Upconversion was scheduled to appear on Sharp and Toshiba HDTV sets only, but the death of HD-DVD changed all that it is now confirmed that Super Upconversion will come to DVD players as well.

Interesting stuff, but this is similar to colorizing old movies, as it will likely create images that were not the intent of the filmmaker. It may be an approximation of a true HD picture, but it won't be a true reproduction as there is visual information that is only being logically guessed at. No thanks.
If you don't like previous DVD "breakthroughs" such as edge enhancement and digital noise reduction (good examples of it here: http://www.cinedrome.ch/hometheater/dvd/dnr/text.html), then I'll bet you won't like "super resolution", either.

The scaler onboard the DVD player will bring it up to 1080p. Hindsight 20/20 if the players are affordable, it will sell well. They could possibly still market the product as a High Definition DVD Player. Not a HD DVD player.
