A Question For The Videophiles

To Upconvert Or Not To Upconvert?

Published on December 30, 2006 By Larry Kuperman In Home Theater

Okay, I finally gave in and bought a 42" Plasma TV., a Toshiba 42HP66. The picture is stunning, much warmer than either the Samsung or Panasonic TVs that I looked at. See Link

I have a large collection of DVDs and intend to continue to play them. Does it pay to buy an upconverting DVD and if so, is the Oppo 981 worth investing in? (See Link for the Oppo's specs.)

Sound is also a consideration for me, I have an Onkyo HT-R520 6.1 Home Theater and I want the best sound possible.

Comments or suggestions?

All the reviews for Oppo are very positive.

With your eyesight I wouldn't bother. YOU GOT A SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM! AND YOU DIDN'T CALL ME TO HOOK IT UP FOR YOU! I'M INSULTED! LOVE YA
