Allow us to demolish some of your most cherished misconceptions. Hitler was not a vegetarian. Mike D and Screech are not related. You can’t see the Great Wall of China from the surface of the moon. And no amount of “upconversion” can turn a regular old DVD image into a true HD image.
If your world has stopped spinning around you, let us explain. This Pioneer DV-400 1080p Upconverting DVD Player can probably do a decent job extrapolating what a 480p DVD picture will look like on your 1080p TV, not to mention your 720p or 1080i TVs (dude, do you really need all those TVs?). If your eyes are keen and your spirit pure, you’ll notice a difference. Probably. It’ll definitely be easier to use this DVD player with your HD TV or receiver, on accounta it’s got a nice, tidy HDMI output. (It’s strictly BYO HDMI cable, though – there isn’t one included.) And you piratical types will appreciate the USB port, which lets you hook up your portable media player or storage device and watch DivX video files or listen to MP3s. Yeah, the Pioneer DV-400-S has a lot going for it.
Alas, that lot does not include the magical ability to restore lost pixels. Upconversion is a lot like the “simulated stereo” recordings of the early stereo age: a good guess at what the real thing might be like, and a decent stopgap until the real thing becomes more widely available. But if you think the Pioneer DV-400-S 1080p Upconverting DVD Player will produce images comparable to HD-DVD or Blu-Ray discs, well, it’ll be about as successful as Mussolini was at making the trains run on time.
