nicholtl Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Whoops, my bad, the unit is called the 3910, not 3901. Denon has released their 3910 DVD player, and judging from the specs, it seems like it can output images at 480p/780i/1080i! I thought only the blu-ray DVD players (which this is not) could output in Hi-def? Does anybody know what's up with this? http://www.usa.denon.com/catalog/products.asp?l=1&c=4 for the specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaDude Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 To my knowledge, it's just upsampling the image coming off of the DVD. Several players are doing this now to facilitate connection to fixed pixel displays... or to accomodate 1080i inputs on HDTV's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwock5 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I have the 3910 and a 3805 reciever, i have a sony 60" lcd projection TV that's native resolution is 720P, the player upconverts the image (just like the samsung) at the native resolution of the monitor so artifacting and other blemishes are reduced. It reduces the amount of converting the image must undergo. The picture is astounding, unfortunately i can't get the Denon-Link to work for sound.

PhilMays Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I'm on the fence on this one. I'm considering getting this unit and placing my 2900 on my second system. I also may wait a year to see what comes ou next as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 Yeah...I was somewhat tempted, then thought to myself I can afford to shell out a little more and just get the 5900, but then really really thought about it and figured it's better to just wait until Blu-Ray players come out in full force.

Lovebohn Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Two things to remember, the Denon will only do the upconversion with the DVI output NOT component. Second, Blu-Ray or HD-DVD might be a few years before it hits the stores and they will have a high price tag just like the first generation DVD players.
