I'm look at getting an unconverting DVD player. What's a good model to look at for a good price?
Walmart had some el-cheepo Magnavox 1080P Up-converting DVD players with the HDMI output for $39.95 right before Christmas and I picked one up (along with a HDMI cable from monoprice.com for 9 bucks). I've played a quite a few movies on it so far and I am quite impressed with the quality of the picture. In fact the difference between this cheepo and my three year old top of the line Sony DVD player (with progressive scan) on my 1080P 46" Samsung is staggering. The up-converting really does make a difference.

The best quality films (least pixilation, errors, best color depth, and contrast) I've watched so far on the up-converting DVD player is Starship Troopers (for some reason it just looks fantastic), Spiderman II, the Matrix Reloaded, the Ring Trilogy and Star Wars Ep. II and III look great as well.
