NeoDigits' region-free HELIOS HVD2085 does HD-upscaling on the cheap


NeoDigits (don't worry, we hadn't heard of them either) has just launched an upscaling DVD player that they are calling the "Swiss Army Knife" of its category, and at least from the specs, we'd have to agree. Besides doing the HD upscaling thing for only $200, which is pretty impressive in and of itself, the HELIOS HVD2085 also sports component, HDMI, and VGA outputs, and supports 11 different resolutions (several of which we had also not heard of before). The HVD2085 can handle VCDs and MP3/WMA CDs along with the usual DVD/CD support, and also displays international friendliness with its region-free support for either NTSC or PAL content.
