Abstract: I hope it’s never too late to say “I’m sorry”. At least, that’s how I feel about the new Helios HVD2085 DVD player. You see, I really judged this player harshly in its former incarnation under the NeuNeo moniker. Sure, it fai...
Abstract: The Helios HVD2085 is the latest version of what was formally the NeuNeo HVD2085 (link to review) DVD Player. Its main added value is that it uses a dedicated processor to upscale (or magnify) the image resolution from Standard Definition (704x480) to...

The HELIOS HVD2085 is an interesting player, for an audience with specific needs... Not all people have an HD TV ready set, at least we dont. The ability to upscale standard DVDs to as high as 1080p resolution through HDMI and component output is ve...
