    Hi :)

    Quick question...

    Can the XBOX play DVD's at 720p or 1080i ? ..... I know it does this with games (if modded).

    If so... is it any good (sound/PQ) compared to a decent dedicated DVD player (e.g. a Denon 2200).

    Can't find any dedicated DVD players that output 720p apart from the new Pioneers.

    regards

    Doc.

    Hi Doc
    I'm not sure if a xbox can play dvd's @ 720p & 1080i, I know that a US Xbox can play games at @ 720p & 1080i

    Samsung 935
    Momitsu V880
    Bravo D1
    Yamakawa 365
    All these players can output 720p & 1080i

    I would think that any of the above players would give you a better pq than a Xbox.
    :)

    Only the 868 can upscale to 720p. the 668 only outs a 480p 0r 576p signal via HDMI

    I think the samsung 935 upscaler only works on dvi output.
