HD-A35 Benchmarks
The benchmark testing was done using the HQV DVD and the HQV
HD DVD. Detailed explanations of all the
tests can be found at the HQV web
site. We disabled the 24p mode for these tests since HQV doesn't properly flag the disc). Some additional testing was done with the
Digital Video Essentials HD DVD to see how true 24fps video reacts.

Comments on testing
If this player is being used with the standard 1080p HDTV, then upconversion of DVDs works well as does HD video. The Film Resolution Loss HD test technically failed, but still seemed to handle the test well except for the very edges. This shouldn't be a concern for the average video clip, so we still gave it 20.
