LG's DVD player with HDMI HD
output January 5, 2005; 1 p.m.
![]() The product: Joining the likes of Samsung, Sony, and Panasonic, LG will sell a "high-definition" DVD player that upconverts standard DVD signals (480i/480p) to 1080i to deliver a sharper image. This LDA511, like competing models, is equipped with an all-digital HDMI connection. It comes in a superslim chassis and has a vacuum-loading DVD/CD slot.
The prospects: This one's a no-brainer. It's a good idea for LG to offer a DVD player that matches up both cosmetically and performance-wise with its fixed-pixel (LCD, plasma, DLP) offerings in 2005. By David Carnoy, executive editor, CNET Reviews CES DEBUTS BY BRAND
