In Reply to: Re: Are HD scalers for dvd play worth the $1k? If so , which one? posted by JLivermore on March 17, 2004 at 07:53:21:
and quality built-in scaler/720p upsampler is high on the priority list with DVI/component video input which it could also scale. Or could simply opt for separate DVD player and external scaler but I would expect a single chassis solution may work out best.I personally couldn't hold out long enough for affordable displays with 1920x1080p resolution. My definition for "affordability" 1080p isn't close to being met by current displays.

I positively love my Samsung DVD-HD1000 player, Faroudja processing, dip switch for 480p, 720p, or 1080i. Excellent sounding audio as well. There is some confusion to me whether all players will do what mine will. Mine did have a mod done to it as I understand it. I purchased it used. I was told if material was copy protected, it would flicker and revert to 480p. mine has never flickered.
No DVI on this one, only component.
I agree with you on the 'affordability' for 1080p today. I'm planning for this time next year, thinking the xHD3 DLP chipset based RPTVs will come in at today's top end price point.
