Sony Blu-ray vs DVD Upscale

There is a big debate going on, in one corner we have Sony Blu-ray and in the other we have DVD upscale, Suzi and Jason are discussing if the latter is just as good. Suzi from the Gadget Show asks if Blu-ray is all that it is cracked up to be, or can you get just as good a result if you get yourself an upscaling DVD player and play your DVD’s through that’s.

DVD upscale works by creating a new line of pixels; this is done by copying parts of the surrounding pixels. Basically what they are doing is guessing what the High Definition picture should look like, in theory it is possible to create an image that can fool the human eye.

In the video they have two identical TV’s showing the same movie, one on Blu-ray and the other on DVD upscale. The one on the left is the Blu-ray and they notice that it has better colors, much more detail in the shadows, overall a more detailed picture.
The result is, the Sony Blu-ray is worth the extra money
