Dvd Hd

[gazzae]

Hi All,

I recently brought a high definition TV. If I also buy a high definition DVD player will I notice any difference in quality with normal DVD's or will I have to wait until DVDs are released that are encoded in high definition. (Hopefully that makes sense!)

Thanks

Gareth

I believe if your DVD has component outputs the quality wll be better, I also have heard that RGB (S-VHS) is better than scart

They will both have HDMI connections.

You can't get proper high definition DVD players yet. - HD-DVD & BluRay aren't out yet.

You can get some normal DVD players with HDMI output & the ability to "upscale" normal DVDs to hi-def.

They probably would look better, not sure if it's worth it though

Component, used for normal definition, is the same quality as RGB I think. But, unlike RGB, component can also be used for high definition. Although, a digitial HD output (HDMI) would be better than component.


RGB is not S-Video, & goes via SCART. RGB is better than composite (which can use phono leads or a SCART lead).

S-Video is similar to RGB but has only 2 Colour Channels Chromiance and Luminance which make up a full Colour picture.
