A friend and I have two HDTVs - the Sony KDL40W2000 and Samsung LE26R74BDX. Does anyone have any experience on whether these will benefit from an upscaler, and if so, what sort of money would I need to spend to see some benefit.

I've been looking at the Sony DVP-NS76H (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DVP-NS7...dp/B000F5SNS6/) as a possibility - anyone used this with the above TVs?

Thanks,

Matt

Upscaling DVD players are only as good as the scalers that are used onboard. The one you have linked to is what I regard as a budget model, you will probably find the scaler in the TV is better than that of the player in this case.

It's not until you go high end that a difference is seen and is noticeable.

Personally I would go for a standard player given the budget, where they are more likely to concentrate more on the SD playback rather than a two bit scaler that under performs. IMO they just add these as a gimmick/selling point.
