Denon DVD5910 1080p upgrade? anyone have it?

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.

Thanks Braro,
I just do not think the hi-res formats will take off.
The Denon for me,is so I have the 'top of the line' DVD player to play DVDs.
Certainly in five years the hi res may be sorted out, and a player would be in order. But they would NOT play a standard res DVD better than my 5910.
I have a Pioneer LD-2 Laserdisc player. The output sucks comepared to DVD, until I turn on the Sony Plasma 4x density, then the LD's look pretty good. (The severe grainyness is gone!)
And I suppose in a few years I would get a 60" 1980x1000 pixel tv with ...?
Anyway, the Denon does a god job now, and I hope will continue to do so for the 600 DVDs I have no plans on replacing with Hd or blu-ray
(like the 100 or so Laserdiscs that I can't replace with DVDs. I keep two LD players around. The LD-2 and a 3070.)

That's why I bought an Oppo player for $200 and its picture is better than that of the Denon 3910 that I used to own. My advise is not to spend too much money on DVD players as they might become obsolete once HD-DVD/Blue Ray takes off.

I recently spoke to a Denon representative and he thinks Denon will keep the 5910 in it's lineup after they bring out a new Blu-Ray or Hi Def player because it is so good and is a universal player. I have considered one for myself.

I'm not a techie. I just want to know if it's worth buying this dvd player, and if I can buy a region-free version of it. i just spoke to a tech person of usa denon and he told me that all the dvd players in usa is required to be region 1. Is there a possibility of getting a region-free from other countries (from europe?) or they simply don't manufacture it.

How about modifying it. Is it worth the risk?
Thanks.
