BD-UP5000
So you've read lots about how the future of HD on optical discs is just a modern-day replay of Betamax vs. VHS. Does that mean you have to wait until the dust settles? Not if you need to display the highest-quality material. Check out Samsung's BD-UP5000 player, which delivers 1080p by playing both HD disc standards: Blu-ray and HD DVD. Unlike the company's first version, this deck can respond to a disc's interactive menus. The chipset includes Silicon Optix's well-regarded HQV video processing. Video outputs include HDMI 1.3, component, S-Video, and composite.
