Probably has scaling technology in it to upscale pictures to HD resolutions offered by the new sets. Advantages are there depending what the performance is offered by the scaler in your HDTV and if you want to use a seperate scaler for multiple sources, rather than have built in scalers.

What were you looking at and what HDTV have you got?

Re: HDMI DVD Player

Thanks for taking the time to reply though i do appreciate it
