the denon dvd 5900 says that it upsamples to 1080i. does this mean that the garden variety dvd's(lotr,braveheart, etc) will look as good as discovery theatre? one guy that i talked to says yes(he's selling the 5900) another guy says no, that the picture can only look as good as the source dvd which is 480dpi.
the guy that says no is selling the marantz dv8400. it upsamples to full resolution 4:4:4:. is this the same as 1080I? because the other resolutions that it mentions that lesser units samples to are 4:2:2 and 4:2:0. could this be the same as 720 and 480? if so then the marantz would probably be comparable to the 5900 at about 500 dollars less.
can anyone help? thanks!
