There's no question that a DVD will look great on a widescreen HDTV, especially if your player happens to be a progressive-scan model. But with razor-sharp high-definition movies regularly showing on cable, satellite, and even broadcast TV, DVD has started to lose a bit of its luster. Still, if you're looking to squeeze every last drop of image quality out of your DVDs, you can now get a player that “upconverts” standard DVD video to a high-def format and then sends a digital signal to your TV through a DVI or HDMI connector. And with players like this selling for around $300 — the price of Sony's DVP-NS975V — it's an affordable option.
