dougdrake Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 There's a thread over at AVS Forum about tweaking this little dandy to output 1080i!!! http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=285105 And, there's another thread about hacking "non-HD" Samsung TVs to accept 1080i input. Sheesh, what's the world coming to!! How's a regular Joe supposed to keep up with all this stuff? DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Doesn't the information have to be present on the DVD disc though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted July 31, 2003 Author Share Posted July 31, 2003 My understanding is that the Faroudja DCDi chip is doing the line scaling, and upscaling the picture. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 So it is sort of like a built in line-doubler type functionality? what does this thing retail for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 I think I've seen them for around $400. Plus, it's SACD with 172khz Redbook CD upsampling and bass management. Lots of goodies for audio enjoyment as well as picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USparc Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 The Philips DVD-963SA is a very good player hardware but lacks in the software. That's why it is software upgradable. Fixing bugs and adding new ones to keep you playing with software versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
