To those who have the the WD HD Player:
Does this player upscale files to 1080p? I mean, if I have a 720p file or even a normal low quality divx .avi file, can it upscale it to 1080p?
We have a Samsung Series 7 TV at home and it has a WiseLink USB port that supports divx playback. I watch TV shows using that player but one thing I've noticed is that when I play .avi files straight from the TV's USB port, the quality is VERY GOOD,
However, when I play the same .avi file using the PS3 and the Samsung HTIB that came with the TV, the quality is poor, as compared to when I play it . IN FACT, I've tried playing an .mkv file in the TV (actually, an .mkv file, but since the PS3 only supports .m2ts files, I converted it to .m2ts) and the 1gb .mkv file looked worse than the 350mb divx .avi file.
My only guess is that the TV upscales the video to 1080p which makes it look so good. Any ideas? (Sorry nagmukhang offtopic but all I'm asking is if the WD HD Player has an upscaling capability, and, if you guys might know, if upscaling is the reason why playing .avi files directly on the TV looks so good). Thanks a lot!
