Should a HDMI DVD player be your next home theater purchase?Written by Kenny Hemphill
Thinking about getting an HDMI DVD player? Whether you've heard buzz surrounding latest generation of DVD players or have an HDTV and want a player to connect it to, information on this page will help.HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. Its standard connector for high definition TV and video kit and is a lossless, all-digital audio/ video interface which as well as supporting HD content also carries standard definition (SD) and enhanced definition (ED) video. Deciding which HDMI DVD player to get is becoming more difficult as more and more devices arrive on market. Prices range from a very reasonable $200 or so for Toshiba SD-5970 to a couple of thousand dollars for devices at high-end. The Toshiba HDMI DVD player, like other high definition players, up-converts DVD-Video content on regular DVD discs to either 720p or 1080i high definition resolution. As well as do everything you would expect of a DVD player, Toshiba SD-5970 has a couple of tricks up its sleeve. Its progressive scan output, when connected to an HDTV using HDMI connector, provides twice number of scan lines present on a normal DVD picture. This means higher resolution, sharper and flicker free images which have none of motion artifacts, such as stepping, often seen on less expensive DVD players.
