The LG DN898 is an affordable, versatile and powerful addition to your home entertainment system. If you've bought an HDTV but haven't bought a Blu-ray Disc player yet, the DN898 is a great way to preserve and enhance the value of your DVD collection. Not to mention your CDs. And thanks to USB Media Plus you can play the digital media you have on your cell phone, portable music player and computer.
Your DVDs look better because they're upconverted to 1080i or 1080p so they have fewer motion arifacts (the "jaggies"), presenting a smoother more natural-looking image.
The 192KHz/24 bit audio DAC produces a smoother more realistic sound with less jitter so your CDs will sound their best too.
The DN898 isn't all about quality, however. There are so many convenience features it's difficult to describe them all in a short description. Consider last scene memory. This unit memorizes the last scene from the last disc that you viewed. The last scene remains in memory even if you remove the disc from the player or switch off the unit. When you load a disc that has a scene memorized, the scene is automatically recalled.
If quality and convenience are important to you and you're looking for an upconverting DVD player, you're looking for the DN898.
