Yeah...thats the player I have the DV 490 and let me tell you it does NOT upconvert to 1080.....big myth...it does not even come close to the quality of 1080. Dont get me wrong, I love the player and it really makes standard dvds look alot better (the reason I bought it was for region free though) but 1080 it does not do......you will not get a regular DVD to 1080. I dont care what you do, it wont even come close.

thats why my dvr is half filled with all six Star Wars films aired in HBO's HD. It pretty much renders my dics useless.
