Another upconverting DVD player to allow you to upconvert your DVD to your HDTV so that you can take advantage of that great HD resolution that your HD monitor can put out. The great thing though is that this one is really cheap, well under $200

So you have a HDTV, but nothing to connect the HDMI port to? The most low cost device that can be connected to it is a DVD player with HDMI. Better yet, get an upscaling DVD player that uses all available lines on your fine HDTV. Most upscaling DVD players do 720p. The now shipping neodigits Helios H4000 is even able to upscale to full high definition resolution (1080p).

I had some doubts about the benefits of upscaling before reviewing the H4000. I was pleasantly surprised that it really makes a difference.

Overview
The neodigits Helios H4000 upscaling DVD player is not the only DVD player supporting 1080p upscaling. Denon offers the DVD-5910Ci, but we talk two different product categories here. The Denon DVD-5910Ci sells for $3,799.99 on Amazon.com. The Helios H4000 only costs $169.

The H4000 has pleasing design in an all black slim line case. It has not full-size component measurements, which I am not a fan off. This means you only can place the H4000 on top of your component stack. Measurements are 360×250x50mm. All buttons are on top of the player. The H4000 looks well made. The drive runs smooth and silent.
