    I have a Samsung LCD TV 40" (1366x768) with HDMI that permit high definition trasmission (720p and 1080i). I have a Denon 1920 that upscales photos via HDMI at 1080i but the real definition viewed it's similar to the PAL system (576 lines).
    I want to know if someone has a dvd player that uses HDMI connection to view high definition photos at maximum level possible by the TV.

    Thank you
    Bye

    A line from www.hometheaterstore.com, which sells Denon 1920 players, reads, 'It can upgrade or "upconvert" DVD video signals to near-High-Definition images' Notice the words "near-High-Definition". Just because a signal is coming out of an HDMI connector, does not necessarily mean that it is HD. In this case, it could be a signal of any resolution, wrapped in a 1080i signal. A tool-tip box about HDMI from this same website reads, "supports standard, enhanced or high-definition video".

    Are you sure the images are in "high definition"?

    Normal DVD is 720x576. That player only upscales from 720x576 source material including photos. Upscaling doesn't add resolution. Nowhere does it say it accepts or outputs high resolution photos.

    You could run a 1280x720p slideshow from your computer, or wait for a HD DVD player. Some company would be smart to build a HDTV photo server that works as a wireless WIFI network device.
