This is probably a dumb question but it's been annoying me for a while. I live in the USA but I'm from the UK and I have a lot of PAL DVDs. I have a multisystem CRT and a multisystem DVD player. So no problems there. But when I eventually upgrade to an HDTV the choices of multisystems are zero. I want to go to a 1080p set (by the time I get around to it they'll be the standard). So my question is this.
If I get a 1080p set and a DVD player like the Oppo that plays PAL discs and upconverts the DVD to 1080 it obviously will not play unless I let the Oppo convet it to NTSC. How bad is that going to look? A DVD that is upcoverted to 1080 then converted from PAL to NTSC and displayed on an HDTV set sounds pretty bad to me.
Am I wrong, or is there a better way around this?
