Why should I buy the OPPO DVD player when my HD display has an internal scaler?
That’s because, in general, the scaler in a high-performance up-converting DVD player, such as the OPDV971H, is more specialized in de-interlacing and scaling DVD signals than an HD display’s scaler, leading to better picture quality. The process of converting a standard-definition DVD signal to the native resolution of your HD display may cause a host of video artifacts if not performed properly. These flaws will be especially noticeable on large and high-resolution screens. Quality de-interlacing and scaling are the key components to stable, artifact-free movie watching, and frequently the components built into the display (and into many competing DVD players) to perform these tasks are not up to the challenge.
