I totally agree the A30 and A35 wins hands down in upscaling versus the less than 10 thousand pesos hdmi players (playing on 46 inch lcd), I also compared it to my Pioneer dvd recorder 1080p, The toshibas really look good. I will do further testing. I don't know how it will compare to those higher end dvd players. Anyway I experimented with Raiders of the lost ark and some ultimate editions of james bond. It's very nice to me, the pics on my dvd hdmi players are dirtier, not as sharp. The toshibas are clearer, smoother, colors I think are better. My wife was more exaggerated (when we were viewing Raiders) by saying "Grabe parang hidef ah..(ya I know exaggeration ito, She's a woman (nothing against women) but you guys know they are really not into these video stuff like us guys
but Raiders of the lost ark really looks good
) " She also said this (A35) is the best dvd player I bought hehe..
. Im glad she is happy with it or she might kick my butt by spending too much on these toshiba players
.
I will do further testing to confirm. But the really good region 1 dvd discs looks really good. I wanna try star wars series and lord of the rings series.
