    Question dvd player?

    Well i have a hd tv(in spec) and my computer isnt exatly the quietist around and not soo good for the power bill. Was looking into getting either the toshiba SD-170E or the SD370-e, the 370 was on ukdvr for £20 but has vanished so now im looking at the 170 @ BP for £10. Im wondering though how would this work with my tv? would it be upscaled too fit the screen? if so does the tv do it.If it wouldnt be a problem then i may buy one . Or does any1 suggest a better player for <£25?

    If it is a normal scart based DVD player, then yes, the TV would upscale it.

    If its a HDMI equipped one, then most likely it would have its own scaler.
