Samsung BD-P1500 480i/480p Deinterlacing/1080p Scaling Tests For Standard DVDs

The following tests were conducted with an Samsung BD-P1500 Blu-ray Disc player using the HDMI output connected directly to a Westinghouse LVM-37w3 37-inch LCD television with 1080p native resolution. The Blu-ray Disc player was set for 1080p output so that the test results reflected the video processing performance of the BD-P1500 with regards to standard DVD playback upscaling. The test results are shown as measured by the Silicon Optix HQV DVD Benchmark Disc.

Screen grabs in this gallery were obtained using a Sony DSC-R1 Digital Still Camera.
