I'm not interested, at this juncture, in ordering one, such as the website you provided. I would like to know what they do. "cinema like image?" What do you mean exactly? Can you be more specific. thanks, warren
Follow Ups:
line-doubler, video scaler, de-interlacer.Basically, a scaler/line-doubler turns the interlaced NTSC signal from the DVD player into progressive video, in the process removing the scan lines, or at least making them a lot less noticeable. That's why the picture from a line-doubler is often called "cinema-like."
Many monitors nowadays have built-in line doubler circuitry, but the best performance is assured from a separate unit such as the DVDO iScan Pro. Better line-doublers will have a feature called "3:2 cinema pull-down" (or similar wording) that corrects the problems (motion artifacts, etc.) that result when the 24 fps of cinema are converted into 30 fps (60 when interlaced) on conventional video. It's a complicated subject--you can read all about it here (see link).

I responded to thread over at www.audiogon.com asking for someone to post a link to better define what they actually do. All I know is that the picture resolution goes WAY up. "Cinema-Like" is a good term.There are many models to chose from, some are fairly inexpensive and some are quite expensive (like the big Farouja).
What's your budget?
P.S. Thanks again C.B. for ther link. I'll check it out later.
