blu ray player 120hz image
Joe P
I'm always being told i need firmware updates to my Blu ray player, however I do not have it connected to the Internet. Connection can only be made through Ethernet and my Home Network is on another floor of the house. So how would i go about getting the proper updates? Do i even need updates, since I do not use any of the online features, I just use it to view DVDs and Blu rays?
Answer
you may need some firmware updates to play certain movies...blu ray players may have some updates to allow you to play 3d blu ray movies and transmit them into 3d...you need a 3d compatible tv, at the moment 120hz/120fps but soon to be 240hz/fps...because the picture is divided into 60hz instead of 120hz...so you may notice some choppiness but it's very minute when you play blu ray on 60hz tv instead of 120hz because blu rays play at 24hz and 24 doesn't divide easily into 60...best bet is to run a wire to it and a tv close to your router just so it displays on a tv and you can get the update then run it back to your normal tv you watch it on

What does an upconvert dvd player convert the display too?

I have a 720p hd tv-but also have a blu ray dvd player, and I know they play at 1080i--just wondering if watching blu ray dvd on a 720p is redundant in that an upconvert can give the same image. Just curious???? I plan on getting a 1080--just waiting to see the 120hz's to come down. thanks.
Answer
There is no 'stretching' involved.
It's not making it true HD
What they are doing is basically tons and tons of math. The signal on a DVD is 480 pixels by 720. So a chip in these players is taking that and making it into 1080x1920 i or p or 720p. It comes out as that new higher res signal, but it can't create more detail that what the original contained. It's just a trick, and it's generally better done on a DVD player than in the TV.
It does help things look cleaner and less jagged since you can notice such things more easily on a huge HDTV. But understand, no upconverting player, no matter how expensive or how advanced the chipset, will give you more detail than a true high def, high bit rate source like a blu ray disc.
Not all 720p HDTV have the same res, as there are three different pixel counts depening on the display tech. They are 1024x768, 1280x720 and 768x1365 (give or take) the pixel count runs from about 750k to about 1 million, that's three to 4 times higher pixel count than regular DVD.
So even though you don't have full HD, you'll still get the benefit of the extra def that blu ray offers. The player can be set to 720p or the TV will down convert a 1080i signal (if you set the player to that) note, not all 720p sets can handle or convert a 1080p signal. Not to worry just set the player to another resolution.
Hope this helps, go out and get a blu ray on black friday! Wal mart will have one for 128 rocks, that is if they have any left.
