DVD/Blu-Ray Players

DVD has penetrated the market as a powerful digitla media format that has forever changed the way consumers view entertainment. However, as HDTV's have entered the foray, DVD's lack the resolution to take advantage of HDTV's new specs. As a result, manufacturers have created a temporary solution by selling powerful up-conversion dvd players, capable of increasing the native dvd picture quality to near HD quality.

However, the divide is still pretty apparent and a new breed of media format is fastly approaching on the horizon to fill in the void between dvds and hdtv. That format is Blu-Ray.

Here are our favorite picks for the Best DVD Upconversion players and Blu-Ray players.
