Best way to watch movies while dry camping

All movies produced these days are in HD.

However ... they are not delivered to the customer in HD resolution unless they are on a BluRay disc.

Now, many (if not most, nowadays) DVD players "upconvert" standard definition source information (what's on a non-BluRay disc) for simulated HD viewing by adding image pixels in between the actual image's pixels to make the image look smoother ... kindof as if the image actually had the real number of pixels per inch of a true HD resolution movie.

For small screens at normal small-screen viewing distances - or for large screens at further than normal large-screen viewing distances - standard definition upconverted to simulated HD can look "pretty good". Even standard definition movies left at standard definition pixel-counts can look good enough for most folks when viewing the screen further back than normally recommended for good immersion into the scenes on the screen.

Some folks are sensitive to image quality more so than sound quality. Most folks value sound quality as more important than image quality. True HD source material fully reproduced on the screen with no compromise is the goal of some - such that they are viewing movie scenes as if actually present right in the scene. This requires equipment that reproduces image source material with all the sharpness, detail, color intensity, color purity, contrast, contrast ratio, and black levels that the viewer's eye is capable of perceiving. Good enough is not always good enough.
