DVD resolution is SD by definition, that's why your DVD disks "look like something like SD"

A disc player (or television/monitor) with good upscaling capabilities can make a SD source look a bit better on a higher-resolution monitor but it will not really add any detail that wasn't there in the first place.

 

BlueRay DVD P

I have a BlueRay DVD player that I almost never use. However, recently I tried to play a DVD with it that was produced in 2018. I assume the DVD is a standard DVD. I'm a bit confused about DVDs.

Anyway, in playing this new DVD it was totally surprised that the picture looked like something like SD. I read that a BlueRay player will only display either BlueRay or SD format. NO HD format.

Is there ANY HD DVD players? I see several that claim to uplink to 1080P. In a search on the net, I can't find any DVD player that claims to be a HD player.

I have a ton of DVD's, but none are in BlueRay format. With all the streaming going on, DVD players are probably next year's 8 track players.

Short version, should I tank the BlueRay player and get one that advertises upscale to 1080P. I have a 4K TV and would like to see my DVD's in at least 1080P. Can someone clear this up for me?

Thanks

No 4k (UHD) disks? It's only money.*Smile
