Philips DVP 3962/37

Philips DVP 3962/37 DVD player is a model with just the basics covered. With high definition video upscaling of 720p, 1080i and 1080p, a clear and crisp picture can be expected. Other image enhancements are supported by progressive scan. The audio produced by this model uses Dolby Digital surround sound with a 24bit/192kHz D/A converter.  For photo viewing, HD JPEG allows for resolutions up to two megapixels. Added convenience is found in DVP 3962/37s video playback of PAL as well as NTSC and the EasyLink via HDMI CEC.  What separates this player from other Philips models is its DivX Untra playback capability.

This model does NOT upscale to 1080p. This model upscales to 720p and to 1080i. The "p" designates "progressive" while the "i" designates "interlaced". These are two very different types of HD displays. The interlaced display is not as sharp nor transitions smoothly. As a matter of fact, with a 1080p HDTV, I get a higher quality picture to my 40" Toshiba 1080P with my dvp3962 set to 720p than with it set to 1080i. I hope this helps!
