DVD upscaling player advice for bedroom with DVI

OK.... I've just bought this TV for the bedroom.

http://www.europc.co.uk/pages/Produc...aspx?PID=80139

With this spec.......
  • Product Description Samsung LE19R71W - LCD TV - 19"
  • Product Type LCD TV
  • Diagonal Size 19" - widescreen
  • Dimensions (WxDxH) 59.4 cm x 21.6 cm x 47.6 cm - with stand
  • Weight 7.6 kg
  • Colour White
  • TV Type HD ready
  • Resolution 1366 x 768
  • Display Format 720p
  • PC Interface VGA (HD-15)
  • HDCP Compatible Yes
  • Technology TFT active matrix ( PVA )
  • Image Aspect Ratio 16:9
  • Tuner Qty 1
  • Multi-channel Preview Picture-in-picture (PIP)
  • Features Ambient light sensor (ALS), DNIe (Digital Natural Image engine), brightness sensor
  • Sound Output Mode Stereo
  • Speaker System 2 speakers
  • Sound Effects SRS TruSurround XT
  • Stereo Reception System NICAM, A2
  • Remote Control Remote control - infrared
  • Power AC 230V ( 50/60 Hz )

Now although for some reason it doesn't say.... the TV has a DVI input which I would like to utilise with a new DVD player. I wish to buy an upscaling player that will work well with this TV... and I'm looking at somewhere between £40 and £80. Nothing spectacular.... as it's only for the bedroom.... but good enough to improve the current picture through scart.

Please can somebody give me a clue where to look, and what perhaps would be the best model.

I've looked at a few, but I'm getting sick of searching now.
