To satisfy my curiousity, I'll be running a dem on Sat morning comparing my own BDP-1000 (with latest firmware) vs a Marantz DV7001.
As you may have thought already "what is he doing comparing a BD to a DVD player"? Well it's to answer a question to myself about just how well an upscaling BD player will fare against a mid-range DVD player.
The tests I'll be running will be:
- DVD on both
- DVD on the Marantz vs BD on the Sammy
If you have a good hunt around, some people feel that there's not much difference between HD and upscaled DVD and some people think there's a world of difference. Well it's time to prove it to myself.
Some people also rate upscaling BD players as being able to compete with higher level DVD players.
So both comparisons will be interesting.
If the Marantz does outperform the Sammy on DVD and is close against BD, I can see me selling up and going back to just DVD.
Any comments?
