because the $500 HD-DVD players are stripped down versions... the nicer HD-DVD models are actually $800.

(e.g. the Toshiba HDXA1 vs the HDA1.)]]>Jun 14th 2006 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/Jun 14th 2006 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/
An upconverted 480p DVD disc still only contains 480 lines of data regardless of how much upconversion you put it through.

That doesn't even come close to the clarity of actual 1080p content encoded onto a disc.]]>Jun 14th 2006 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/"

Ummmmmmmmmm the $800 HD DVD player has more DSP and an RS232 port for control.

The HD-A1 at $499 has everything that these $999 Blu-Ray boxes have an more. Notice the missing ethernet port on the Sammy and Sony units. Note the inferior support for Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD.

You get a lot for your money with the HD DVD unit. ]]>Jun 14th 2006 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/Jun 15th 2006 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/Jun 15th 2006 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/
...and 640K RAM is more than enough - why would you need more?]]>Jun 16th 2006 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/14/philips-announces-blu-ray-lineup/
I left the school in 1962. The first tape recorder and the radio was Philips as there is a factory of Philips in Arusha Tanzania.
Since then I have Phipps jump from the long spool tapes to Cassettes and DVDs and now the blue high tech DVDs that give the immense storage. The log “ Simplicity at the touch” has been the promise Philips has kept and will stay. This Dutch company has given more to the IT in the West after the Far East companies.
