Xbox 360 DVD Upscaling to 1080p

[Atticus]

Do you think that the Xbox 360s is able to upscale dvd resolution to 1080p if your television supports that amount of resolution. I have a Xbox 360 which is connected to me Sammy 42" Plasma TV which is isn’t named as 1080p. I have just purchased the 'Arctic's-Live at the Apollo' and the image quality is overwhelming. As close to 1080p/Blu-ray since you might get?

HDMI will tend to democratize on DVD players, although it is not strictly necessary, it will provide a quality at least equal and probably better on High Definition televisions through the upscaler which is responsible for transforming an image Standard High Definition. I would believe that it’s the Xbox's work to output the DVD statistics next to its unique resolution (720x480 in the majority cases), and it’s the TV's situation to upscale it toward the TV's maximum resolution.

Upscaling DVD Player: Watch your favorite DVDs using an HDMI cable on the upscaling capabilities of Xbox 360 in near HD quality." The fact that the DVD playback feature of the Xbox 360 ok, but is not exactly a show of high-gloss finish, even after a major update of our features still current sentence. HD optics cannot really because of the question, even if the image is now not necessarily bad. Moreover, it was actually always been that they had adopted the HDMI input only because of the large user demand and subsequently at Microsoft actually see any major differences from the standard HD component video cable

Microsoft has completed its major upgrade there is now a week. This update enables besides many other features, support for 1080p via VGA or YUV. Unfortunately for some players an error message that was all they had. Microsoft has not yet indicated the exact cause of this problem, although some believe that this is a problem of frequency supported by the VGA is a timing issue with the screen. But Major Nelson said in his last podcast that company engineers are aware of this problem and they are already working to resolve it.

The Xbox 360 gaming console itself is competent of upscaling average DVDs by the use of the VGA cable as well as HDMI cable equal to 1080p resolution. It will not be as excellent as an accurate HD picture except the 360 and your television will work to upscale your DVD as most excellent as achievable. The simply method a 360 will not properly upscale is if it is connected by the use of composite otherwise component cables. By means of component you can obtain 480p (EDTV).

Absolutely the Xbox 360 can upscale ordinary DVD movies, except only if you’re utilizing the VGA otherwise HDMI connection. For the duration of the supposed “Spring Dashboard Update” Microsoft allowed DVD upscaling in excess of the VGA connection — plus upscaling above HDMI has been present ever since the opening of the HDMI AV cable — therefore if you’re utilizing VGA otherwise HDMI you’ll observe movies in whatsoever resolution you’ve situate inside the dashboard. On the other hand, this is barely above VGA otherwise HDMI. Furthermore, by Fall Dashboard Update, average DVD movies will be up-scaled toward 1080p on screens that support it, yet again merely above the VGA connection otherwise HDMI connection.

Joystick reports new details on the planned features of the Xbox 360 software that will allow the vision to 1080p. With the component you can view the games at 1080p upscaled or in native resolution (provided that support it), but you cannot see the HD-DVD at 1080p (as I thought I already mentioned in the comments) because of AACS. Instead, using a VGA cable would not meet limitation, could not only see the HD-DVD and games to 1080p but upscaling DVDs. Still await further official news from Microsoft.
