Sony revealed the PS3 will soon get DVD upscaling, DailyTech reports.
“You know, we're not sure when it's coming, but we're going to have DVD upscaling on Playstation 3,” said Harrison to Newsweek.
DVD upscaling is the practice of converting 480i/p material into a 720p or 1080i/p image for display on high-definition televisions that support higher resolutions. The result of upscaling is a slightly improved image that is most noticeable on fixed pixel displays such as plasma or LCD televisions.
Standalone DVD players that upscale the picture to higher resolutions are called “upconverting DVD players.” Computer DVD playing software like PowerDVD and WinDVD commonly feature DVD upscaling to produce an image that fits the selected resolution of the monitor.
