H4000 HD Upscaling DVD Player Reviews
2006-11-27
  

So you have a HDTV, but nothing to connect the HDMI port to? The most low cost device that can be connected to it is a DVD player with HDMI. Better yet, get an upscaling DVD player that uses all available lines on your fine HDTV. Most upscaling DVD players do 720p. The now shipping neodigits Helios H4000 is even able to upscale to full high definition resolution (1080p).
I had some doubts about the benefits of upscaling before reviewing the H4000. I was pleasantly surprised that it really makes a difference.

The Helios H4000 is a feature-packed upscaling DVD player.
Features such as 720p/1080i/1080p upscaling, through both HDMI and component outputs make this unit an attractive option for HDTV owners.

The DVD player performed as well as any of the other upconverting players we have reviewed. DVDs looked quite nice on this player. We ran through our typical suite of DVDs. The night scope scenes of Blackhawk down played back flawlessly. The Superbit version of Spiderman looked, in a word, super! Colors looked true and skin tones looked natural. There was detail present that was not noticeable with our standard DVD player. This was especially evident with our superbit DVD. This was true on 1080p and 720p TVs. One nice feature is that the H4000 upconverts over component cables so HDTV owners who have TVs without digital inputs can also use this player and enjoy improved picture quality.

This player not only supports DVD, SVCD, VCD, CD, HDCD, MP3, WMA, MPEG 4, and DivX but also allows users to output nearly any resolution over its three high-def outputs.

The H4000 is solidly constructed, with a metric asston of outputs. HDMI, component, composite, S-Video, VGA, 5.1 surround audio, optical audio and coax audio makes the back more holey than Jesus' beer mug.

H2000 HD Upscaling DVD Player Reviews
2007-09-12
After doing research online between going HD with either the HD-DVD or BluRay format; I decided to pick up this little gem released from Helios. They had a previous model, the H4000 and it is well known in the AVS Forums because of its ease of menu navigation, its ability to upconvert standard dvd's and for its many output connectors.

The latest generation HD DVD and Blu-ray players are all the rage right now, with an increasing number of consumers jumping on either the HD-DVD or Blu-ray bandwagon. The sales of both types of players have been steadily climbing through the first 9 months of 2007, but no clear winner of the high-def format war has emerged.

Helios Labs was very kind in sending me their H2000 upscaling multi-function DVD player, which is region free. The device playbacks just about anything you can throw at it, and can upscale standard definition content to high definition - functionality you really want when you have a high-definition ready television.
