Blu-Ray Upconverting Technology - Explained

With the advent of Blu-Ray technology, many enthusiasts are confused about the concept of an upconverting player. In short, the term upconverting means the following:

• It means there is no standardization whatsoever, and you might as well say 'y2k compatible', or 'internet ready' cpu
  
• It means you're supposed watch a fat sports guy stretched horizontally and pretend not to notice by saying things like 'look at those colors', or 'wow I wish I had one'
  
• It means buy now, so we can sell you something else next week
  
• It means the TV guys haven't gotten their turds together, so we're getting our mills in south east Asia to mass produce 'upconverting technology', whatever that means.
  
• It means it works if your dpi and your hdmi cable are hd dvd tv for your cd. Dee Dee Dee.
