 ABSOLUTELY SATISFIED! March 18, 2008

This DVD is near-perfect. Set up is easy, the picture is outstanding, and it will play all my JPEG discs, whether CD-R, CD-RW or DVDs. You can adjust the picture mode for DVDs to your liking, changing the brightness, contrast and sharpness. And for the JPEGS, there are several different modes to change from picture to picture. Also, get this: if I take a DVD totally out of the player, then put it in later, it starts where it left off. I love this thing.
It does what it says it will do March 13, 2008

For some reason the idea of a DVD player that upgrades standard DVD to simulated HD DVDs seemed a bit suspicious. I had just replaced our old tube TV with a 40" LCD HDTV. The old DVD player seemed to give OK results, but curiosity got the best of me. I chose the Sony only because the TV was a Sony. Other, less expensive brands may be just as good.
With both DVD players hooked up to the same TV I could try the same DVD in both and see if there was any difference. There was. The picture with the Sony upscaling player was noticeably better. There is a lot less pixilation. But, do not expect miracles. It does not get to Blue ray level of clarity.
I am quite happy with it until a) the price of Blue Ray players comes down and b) there are a lot more Blue Ray discs available.

I recently purchased a AQUOS LC-52D82U 1080p LCD television. I had the regular DVD players and wanted to improved the DVD player without going to the expense of the HD or BLUERAY systems. After some research, I decided on Sony DVP-NS77H/B 1080p Upscaling DVD Player. It seemed like the best for the money. Set up was not difficult, nor is the use of the controls. What I found disappointing is the difference, or lack thereof, in the picture. My daughter and I both have copies of The Lord of the Rings DVDs so I used them as a test of picture quality . Leaving my existing player attached to the TV, using the traditional plugs; I connected the Sony Upscaling DVD using HDMI cables. I placed both into operation and switched back and forth between the two in-sync systems. The quality of the pictures were basically the same. Maybe a little more detail was available on the CGI parts of the system, but nothing like I expected.
Still, it is a good DVD player, just not what I understood it to be...
Service from AMAZON, however, is exactly what I expect, which has always been excellant!

I bought this because of the reliability of the Sony name and was not disappointed. Setup was easy. Dvd's from feature films appear better than do dvd's from television shows, but I have read that that is due to the way they are filmed. Overall, I am very satisfied.
Great DVD player for the money February 29, 2008

There's a lot of hype about "HD" and 1080P now a days. I recently purchased a nice 50" plasma tv that supports this input via HDMI. Since I have a big DVD collection, I wanted to have a better viewing experience. So I purchased the Sony DVD player that does upscaling.
Bottom line - You do notice a difference in picture quality but it's not the same as BlueRay or HD because of the media being used. I purchased this for 2 reasons... price and time. It's inexpensive compared to a BlueRay or HD player and who knows where HD media is going just yet?
Be sure and check the specs on your TV before you buy this unit. There are a lot of tv's that only display 720p or 1080i, which isn't 1080p. Good luck and happy shopping!
