Ben, whose opinion I respect, over at HD Beat has posted a hand’s on review of the HD-A1. Based on his analysis, I’ll be holding on to my upconverting DVD player until both the price and size of the new players drop 50%.

PS3 for Blu-Ray and the HD-DVD add-on for the xbox 360 means I can am covered for both formats for under 800 dollars.

Well if you have a 30″ widescreen TV, I’m sure the best SD might almost seem as good as the worst HD from a distance. But I have a 57″ HDTV and the difference is night and day. Even my wife complains when a show isn’t available in HD.

I probably won’t be buying into HD/Blu until there’s an affordable DVD-ROM drive that can play one or both of them that I can stick into my computer.

From a per pixel standpoint of source material, there’s no question a HiDef DVD player exceeds 480p and upconverted content. However, when set size and viewing distance are factored in not everyone will see a significant improvement in PQ.

“Questionable” improvement in picture quality? I have to disagree with you there…
