| What DVD player? My old dvd player has given up the ghost so i am looking for a replacement. Ideally, it needs to be multi region (or unloackable via code) because i have a few region 1 and 3 dvds in my collection. HDMI would be nice as my component inputs are taken up by my xbox 360. I want it to upscale my dvd's to 720p so they will look good on my tv (samsung 32" HDTV) I was thinking of something like this from play http://www.play.com/Electronics/Elec...archtype=genre I would buy this but i cant find a way to make it multiregion Can anyone reccomend me a decent upscaling player for around £60  |

| Sorry for not being able to be terribly helpful, but I dunno if you'll really get something that upscales any better than your TV (if a fairly recent set) for £60  Also, is it a native x768 set ? AVforums ?  Last edited by bigblue; 11-04-2007 at 06:00 PM.. |

| The Toshiba would get my vote for not much more than the Mi220 and have the proven performance and brand quality also (and free P&P). You can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be led ------------------------------------------   Linux for humans! |

And if it's a x768 panel it'll may be better doing it, unless you can find an upscaling DVD that does x768. Saves a scaling step. Some Samsung sets have Faroudja upscaling which is as good as you'll get without spending a lot more cash on a DVD player (Arcam, Denon). |
