DVD upscaling + DivX player ?

[ThreeDee]

Hi

I'll probably get me a Tosh 42wl66 LCD and want some decent upscaling payer capable also playing back divx content. Do those exist ?

Not interested in hi-end players. Too expensive after splashing out so much wonga for a 42"

THESE are very highly regarded.......and very reasonably priced.

Checked out the specs (@sony web) and it doesnt seem this player has divx playback capabilities ???

I specifically looking for upscaling+divx...

I can only say that the Sony DVD player is far better than the Sony website as it most certainly DOES play DivX.

I was watching some last Sunday

Pioneer 696, check out the very long thread on here. Upscaling is good, divx / xvid is very good and its not fussy like some brands about discs.

Very good upscaling player from the USA (there are UK agents), for around £160. Just look in this forum and you will see the threads. Can't link to it for some reason
