I just want a high quality low priced (oxymoron) DVD player that will upconvert regular dvd's to my new 50 inch Panasonic 720P Plasma TV thru HDMI.

I want high quality and no problems. Right now I have the Samsung 931 DVD player and it works with no problems. I've been looking at the Onkyo SP405.
What are your recommendations? Pls contact: kmil123@msn.com

Thanks!

This might sound crazy but your best best might be one of the Toshiba HD-DVD players. I got an HD-A2 for 75 bucks a couple weeks ago and it's noticeably better at upconverting than anything else I've tried (including the PS3 and Pioneer and Sony players which cost upward of $250).

I mentioned this player at a blu-ray forum and was practically crucified for it, but if you want an upconvert DVD player you certainly can't do any better for the price.

i have the a2 and a30; with sd dvds the a30 @1080i produces an slightly sharper image w better color and definition thru my 720p hd pj onto 108" screen than the a2 which isnt bad.
