Denon DVD5910 1080p upgrade? anyone have it?

The only software that I'm aware of that has a native output of 1080p is the extremely limited (at this time) BlueRay stuff. Unless the Denon up converts and you have or plan to get video source that can accomodate 1080p I don't know if there is much real value in the upgrade. On the other hand it might add to its resale value, which I kinda doubt unless further upgrades are made available.

The Denon does only 1080i as it is.
The 'new DVD-5910ci does 1080p.
An upgrade is available via Denon (for $300) to upgrade the DVD-5910 to the DVD-5910ci so it too has a 1080p output.
So THAT is the question: is it worth $300.?
I only PAID $1,800. for the player locally, The dealer had FIVE in stock and was desperate to sell them!! So $300 more is, well, more! not like I had the cash for this thing @ List $3,500.!!!!!)
I KNOW no TV's now accept any 1080p input, but pretty soon they will... And I want to know if it is worth blowing $3small on it. (I am CERTAIN that this upgrade is a very 'limited time' offer from Denon. Three months from now I will just cry because it is too late, If it is worth doing.)

Actually some current sets have 1080p inputs.

Considering that native DVD resolution is only 480p at best I guess I don't see the point.

I would not do the upgrade. It will be upconverted to 1080P. IMHO good 1080I/60 is marginally better than good 480P/60. I think the diff would be too small to worry about. Also someday (hopefully sooner than later) we will have true HD 1080P in Blue Ray and/or HD DVD. These players will have a phenomenal HD pq and probably a better upconverted pq than the Dennon for probably close to the price of the upgrade your speaking of. You can already buy the Toshiba HD player for under $500.00. I owned this player for a short time and the pq was outstanding on my 133" diag screen unfortunately it had a few to many bugs that need to be worked out so I returned it. As soon as the bugs are remedied I will pick another up but Im really hoping for a combo player. Another factor is your display size. I personally do not see a ton of improvement in upconverted pq until about the 60" size. Hope this helps.
