Zombies also can supply quality

I know that the HD format was buried. But since I Player with HDMI Upscaling and was looking for a DVD, this HD DVD player struck me for about 30 euros more and I am very satisfied with the purchase. Ordered on the net were 5 HD-DVDs with (so are the 30 Euro compensated), a few of verramschten HDs here ordered from Amazon and then wait for 2 years, to Blu-Ray is cheaper and eye reifter or anyway a successor format is presented.

The picture on HDMI HD DVDs on a Full HD LCD is just brilliant. The upscaling of standard DVDs provides very good results, much better than when the TV must perform this upscaling. The sound is also good.

Some disadvantages are:
The fan can be heard, but only during start-up or when the sound is off. For any given Blockbuster is the fan nothing more to hear (and Blockbuster are probably really the only reason to use HD sources).
The startup takes a long time, but that does not do that every minute. That inside the player but a PC infected, should be clear to all HD devices. Here probably works a Celeron and has to be cooled, otherwise the calculations are simply no longer cope. After all, a mathematical copy must still be decrypted.
[More annoying is rather that one can not change during operation, the output format, but only when the player is stopped. Because unfortunately bucking normal DVDs in 1080p / 24p mode as it is designed only for HDs. So that means you always have to manually switch, when switching between DVD and HD.]
Update: This issue is fixed by a firmware update, for details please read the comments.
Also, the player can not play MPEG4 (Avis), who needs it, should keep the old DVD player or buy another.

I do not regret that I have acquired this zombie for less than 100 euros. Of course this is not absolute buy recommendation, but who like me a better DVD player with HDMI needed and not before, has to buy this year, Blu-Ray, to the purchase should be - as long as there is still the unit - superior.
