Obviously you've upgraded to a true HD TV and the difference in picture quality is breath taking. The real problem is now in the quality of your DVD playback. It has somehow become less crisp than it used to be. Part of this is perception and part of it has to do with your player. Looking at an HD DVD might save you a little money and enhance your movie watching experience.
The advantages of an HD DVD player really boil down to two basic topics: convenience and quality. If you are looking for a solution that will make your DVDs play as nice as the HD channels you are receiving, forget it, you will never see that kind of quality out of a true DVD with anything that is out on the market now. However, HD DVD players offer something blu-ray does not: interchangeability.
There is no such thing as "true" HD picture with a standard DVD, though in most cases your old DVDs do play fine. This has more to do with the limits placed on the DVDs themselves; they just cannot compete for clarity and audio accuracy that true HD DVDs and Blu-ray discs can provide. So if you are thinking you'll get a better picture out of an HD DVD player using your old DVDs, the difference will be nominal.
HD DVD players use a blue laser. What this does for you as a consumer is shorten the load time and allow for a more compressed disc. That is to say a standard sized DVD will hold more digital content. That's how HD DVD is able to deliver a crisper picture in high def and its older cousins are not.
Another advantage for HD DVD players is simply that having one player that can play two formats saves you space. Otherwise you'd be losing space under your TV to yet another player. And no one wants to see that.
Another space saver comes from the fact that HD DVDs come in the same packaging as normal DVDs. This makes your movie shelf look more uniform and prevents you from having to store movies on different shelves. For those with OCD this helps some.
The players are readily available and relatively inexpensive compared to Blu-ray, so price is another factor. If given the option a lot of consumers would go for the cheaper solution to a problem and HD players for DVD are a viable one.
The real plus to it all is that you don't have to start over on your collection and you can keep one basic unit beneath your TV instead of two, three of four different boxes. For we older people who remember the Betamax/VHS wars if the early 80s there is the added comfort of knowing we don't have to completely switch formats again or hope we guessed which was going to become the standard.

LCD, DLP and LCOS are three projector technologies which are predominantly used in schools, colleges and corporate houses for giving presentations, watching videos, classroom teaching, product training etc. LCD projectors use LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology to display text and image on an interactive whiteboard or other projection screen. They are also known as multimedia projectors as they can display both text and images from PC, TV and video recorders. They can work with all types of notebooks and desktops. The projection can be of SVGA or XGA resolution.
SVGA means 800 * 600 resolutions whereas XGA means 1024 * 768 screen resolution. A digital image is made up of dots or pixels. A resolution is the size of the digital image which is expressed in width * Height. For e.g.: 800 * 600 resolution means, an image is 800 pixels wide and 600 pixels in height. The projector brightness is measured in ANSI (American National Standard Institute) Lumens.
The DLP and LCOS projectors are also considered to be a type of LCD projector although they use DLP (Digital Light Processing) and LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technologies for video projection.
LCD technology is best for computer use and DLP is best for projecting videos. LCD delivers better color saturation, sharper image and is more light efficient than DLP. The DLP projectors are smaller and lighter than LCD and produce higher contrast videos.
LCOS technology is best for very high resolutions. Its projectors are bigger and heavier than LCD and DLP and generally cost more. One practical application of LCD technology is its use by teachers when training students to use software by capturing the image say 'Screen of MSWord' from a computer screen and projecting it on the interactive whiteboard so that all the students can see what is going on the computer screen. Some projector accessories are: cabinets, cases, ceiling mount kits, cables, lens, lamps, remote control, projection screen, stands, trolleys, digital microscope, visualizers etc.
