    I have a samsung BD-P1580 bluray player connected to a samsung 6 series LE40B650 40" 100hz LCD.

    I just put a standard dvd (not bluray) of jurassic park in. I have the BD Wise enabled which is supposed to pick the best quality automatically for the format in question.

    The standard jurassic park dvd does not have the black bars along the top or bottom, and is only displaying at 720x576i at 50Hz.

    Is this the best a standard dvd will play at when played through a bluray player on a full HT Tv connected via HDMI cable?


    EDIT: tried transformers standard dvd and it also plays at 720x576i at 50hz. i thought a bluray player should upscale to 1020x768 or something like that.

    Does the BR player have upscaling functionality?

    Is it enabled?

    Maybe the BRWise function is doing you a favour and not upscaling the content, because 576 lines is the most you can get out of a dvd regardless.

    The one thing that I would look for in your options is to see if it will do 576p (i.e. de-interlace) which is _the_ best you can get from a DVD.

    The player is a samsung bluray player. it upscales by default as far as i can see.

    Ok, so what exactly are you looking to see different on your TV screen? (bearing in mind that the total content available on the DVD is 576p)

    Jurassic Park was shot in 1.85 aspect ratio that's why it fills the screen (close to 1.78 on your TV). The BluRay player appears to be using native resolution to display the DVD, which is probably what you want.

    The Samsung 1580, as far as I can tell, is extremely similar to the 1600 model, and no doubt has the same menus.

    Your Blu-ray player should upscale your DVD to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) via HDMI according to page 42 of the Samsung BD-P1600 manual. In addition, page 41 shows how to change the output resolution, i.e. Setup => Display Setup => Resolution => 1080p.
