Upscaling issue - Blu-ray Forum

leahcim · 06-17-2009, 10:46 PM

So I bought the Megnavox NB 530MGX. Works good but after putting in an Andy Griffith DVD it has alot of facial lines in it. The Andy Griffith looks decent on a regular DVD player but upscaled looks bad. Is this becasue it is so old or becasue it is B&W?

I did not expect the Andy Griffith to look like HI DEF but I did expect a bit more clarity.

up scaling is utter garbage, I always set my player to 480p with a DVD and then let me tv do the work. It's a preference thing, I've seen some like Revenge of the Sith that looks pretty good with my method, but there's others that look like crap. Maybe you try my method and see what you think.

Thx, I will go try that and report back.

you get what you paid for that player is no brand, has weak scaling chip, diff of price tag is usually because of the video chip for blu-ray player.

Changed the player and output to 480P and it does look better, thanks.

Are there any BR players that have really good upsacling. I used to have PS3 and it seemed decent.

Nonsense,.... you do not buy a BD player,.. HD TV or up scale player to watch movies in 480p. That's a wasted effort.

Any GOOD brand name will do. Samsung,.. Panasonic,...Pioneer,... Sony, etc. Oppo has the best system,... but these players do not sell for $150. You do get what you pay for.

The Samsung's that have the Silicon Optix Reon chip does a really good
job of upscaling. I was watching Woody Allen's HOLLYWOOD ENDING(480p)
upscaled - it looked pretty good. Lots of detail and very crisp.
Displayed on a Sony XBR, however.

On this website, go to PLAYERS/ COMPARE PLAYERS

Andy Griffith is OLD dude! His facial lines are bound to show up.
