I currently have a £40 aiwa standard dvd player.
i.e. is it worth buying a new player for the hdtv
Best advice on this thread imo.Crustyloafer said:Why on earth would you want upscaling on a £100 player?

Honestly, just concentrate on getting a decent player with a good set of component outputs. Scaling is best left to dedicated scalers, most of which cost many times more than your DVD player budget on their own.
Where did you get it for that price?nufc_fan said:i have just got a medion 32" 20090( i think thats the model no. of the top of my head)

That being a given you can't deny he is going to see a major hike in performance from his current dvd player which is using a scart connection when he switches to the sony via HDMI?Nic Rhodes said:This is the advice you should follow, most £100 upscalers are really compromised devices like the Samsung 950 and many many others.
Agreed. And actually I DO notice a better picture with my Sony76 upscaling at 1080i over normal output, and that is on a TOSHwlt66 which has decent scaling built in. Again it's not just about the scaling it's all the other stuff. Definite improvement over an old aiwa via scart!gingerone said:Upscaling aside HDMI is going to be much better than scart as will component.
