is the DVD player HD or standard definition?

I don't know. I'm not very much up on these terminalogies. I use my RCA wide screen strictly for DVD movies and all the movies I have played are showing well. The only problem I have had is sometimes the sound is not very loud and it is like watching a silent movie, but most are alright. The volume adjustment is hard to set right and the instruction manual is to brief to be of much help, but then as I said in the beginning my knowledge of these things is sorely lacking. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hi Leslie, I believe all DVD players are 720p, not HD - to get HD from recorded media you need to be into blu-ray - which this TV does not do. I personally like the softer tones from DVD/720p - when you get that high quality picture - very few people look good, IMHO.

It has NTSC and PAL display modes. It changes the aspect a little bit. As for PAL-format DVDs, I am not sure.

No. It is not a dvd player. Dvd's are almost antiquated now as we move into the digital world.

not sure , also HD DVD players no longer are selling,unless you have an old one, Blue ray is the best choice, however the HD DVD player will play regular DVD' s

Unlike HD DVD (who has no region code whatsoever for HD DVD discs), Blu-ray is also region-coded. The same thing applies to their playing of DVD discs. DVDs have region coding. So all hi-def players who support DVD must obey the region coding policies.

Upscaling and upconverting are used interchangeably though I'm sure the definitions my technically be different. As far as DVD's are concerned, neither do anything to the sound quality and applies to video quality as far as I know. The "up convert" capabilities of the Samsung DVD-C500 results in an excellent 1080p resolution. It still isn't true HD! No DVD upscale (or up converting) player will ever result a true HD picture, but this unit produces video of fantastic quality via HDMI in my opinion.

It plays both blue ray and regular DVDs. It does not play HD. Overall it has been an excellent player. However, do not upload the software upgrades. The player won't work after. Though lg did fix it for us since it was known issue.

Is the player BDP-95 (purchased on amazon store) - DVD Player - "Region Free"?

It should read standard DVDs just fine. If you are trying to watch a digital movie, it has to be in MPEG-2 format.

ALL upconverting players will ONLY upconvert dvd discs with copy protection or any original ones. Dvds (re)mastered in high definition will SPECIALLY look amazing.

You can burn a disc that is compatible with standard dvd players or with blue ray players depending on the quality option chosen in the menu. The option for burning blue ray compatible disc is AVCHD dubbing. The other three quality options are for standard def and can be played on computers or dvd players. I always choose the HQ option for a standard dvd as it gives the best quality.

The description says it is a DVD/Blu-ray combo. The tech reviews I read also indicate it is a Blu-ray drive. I am waiting on my replacement unit to arrive as I was shipped the wrong unit. I will update my review and test the Blu-ray as soon as it arrives.

I converts from regular DVD to "almost" High Definition, like HDTV. And, it does it quite well.

No - this is a basic DVD player. I was looking for a low-price, fairly quality player just to have on my desktop while I work. Right now, I feel like the Blu-ray versions are higher priced than they are worth and since I've gone through two different portable DVD players (not this model or brand) and I didn't want to waste that amount on something I was unsure of.
