We have any now entered into a age of High Definition Video. Almost all new TVs are High Definition Ready, (HD Ready or HD compatible). Although most of us have purchased these new TVs, many of us have not upgraded our DVD players. This is really a shame because those of us are not utilizing our TVs to their full potential.  Buying a DVD player that is High Definition will allow you to receive Video in High Definition outputs such as 720P, 768P, 1080i and the highest resolution 1080P! These output offer a much much clearer, sharper image, with less artifacts.  If you don't already have a HD ready TV, then your next TV will probably be HD or HD ready. In my opinion, using a regular progressive scan dvd player with a HD TV is like putting regular fuel into a Race car! It just doesn't make sense. So, to watch your dvd movies with the best picture quality on your TV, we recommend to go with a Hi Definition player that up-converts the signal to 720p, 768p, or 1080i.

The DV-400v's digital HDMI video connection helps keep signals pure, giving you better image quality especially with today's popular plasma, LCD, and DLP televisions.
