upscale through component

[Del Phillipson]

Is there any DVD player out there that will upscale dvd's through component cables as I have a Sony 12HT video projector that only has component inputs and no HDMI. I am currently using an Xbox 360 which is ok but most of my dvd's are region 1 and it will only play region 2. Your help will be much appreciated.

I think there is more then one. I own a Panasonic S52 and it upscales both with components and HDMI on PAL and NTSC up to 720p

Upscaling via component?

[Del Phillipson]

looks like being the Helios X3000 or X5000 for me :-)

Take your time. Have a good look around

Oh, welcome to the forums, BTW

cheer's mate I'm looking, the 3000 seems to be around the 200 quid mark, somebody is flogging one on ebay and it has already fetched £165 and it's not even boxed

just ordered an H4000 direct from neodigits, can't wait, any recomendations for a decent set of component cables ?

Hmm, I'm not really a subscriber to the mega expensive cables being better theory.
Depends what you want to pay really.

These would do a great job:

I agree not paying for expensive cables, but they do defintely make a small difference. I have quite a few cables for hook up video of my dvd players and only one gives marginally better details in movies.

lol... i was bidding on that too!!

out of stock for 3/4 weeks ah well gives me plenty of time to get a decent component cable, is £36/40 about right then for a decent cable. How would that compere with an ebay special at say £15/20 ?

Chances are you can get a perfectly adequate one for a tenner.
The way I see it (and it's highly debatable) is that a perfectly adequate cheap cable will not be improved on in any way, no matter what people say.

All I can say is, if you buy the ones I linked to, you'll have to pay multiples of that price, to get some, if any, improvement.

I second the mark grant cables, they are superb, i bought some when i got my new sammy tv and the pic is fab from the DVD player.

And the service is superb too.
