The HELIOS H4000 HD Upscaling DVD Player is currently the only player in the market that can bring your home theater images to a 1080p HD resolution through HDMI, component, VGA, and RGB-HV outputs. With 11 different resolutions to choose from, the H4000 upscales not only your standard DVD titles, but also “home-made” DVDs, not to mention MPEG4 formats such as DivX and XviD stored in your CDRs and DVDRs! 

Roy Ping, Technical Director for NeoDigits, comments, “With more and more people owning big screen high definition televisions, there is an increased need for a simple, easy-to use DVD player that let you make the most out of your HDTV’s resolution capabilities. Designed with sheer flexibility in mind, the H4000 can meet almost all requirements of new-generation digital big screen TV’s and projectors.”

The H4000 will retail at US$ 169 and will be available for purchase directly from NeoDigits.

    I have the Helio H4000 that I connected to Sony KDS 60A2000 (1080p via HDMI). The player does not upscale to 1080p. THe TV reads inputs at all the other settings.

    I received mine a week ago and I have a Mitsubishi 65” WD-65732 which has the ability to do 1080p over HDMI.  This dvd player will not display 1080p on this tv!  I thought maybe it was my tv I contacted Mitsubishi and they did their troubleshooting on it.  I then asked Neodigits and told me it was a known issue with some TVs displaying 1080p.  Isn’t the whole idea of advertising it as an upscaling dvd player that can display 1080p over HDMI and component the whole idea of this dvd player?  They said they are working on a firmware to fix this problem and that it is due around the end of December. 

    It did play my divx files very easily but with many of the fansub anime I have it cuts half of the subtitles off and at least from what I saw in the settings there is no way to adjust the edges of the screen from the dvd player.

    It is really disappointing when the main feature of 1080p does not work with a pretty popular DLP tv.
