I came here months ago posting my dissatisfaction with the way my Panasonic plasma displayed my Nintendo Wii. I think a big problem was that I was coming from a high def CRT, on which the Wii looks amazing. I love my 50" Panasonic plasma, but I do a LOT of old school gaming (Saturn, SNES, etc) and wanted to have those look as good as possible. Many people here recommended the DVDO Edge because I was on a budget.
I decided to wait because there was a sale on this very forum that I just missed; and the DVDO Edge was back up to its retail price (just my luck). I've decided now I'm ready to buy, with the best price I found being at thenerds.net at $540 shipped for the unit. Kinda stinks because Amazon had it for $450 shipped like a month ago and I missed out yet again.
Anyway, after all this time, I wanted to make sure the DVDO Edge was the best for what I wanted. I just want a really good scaler for non HD stuff. The idea of only needing one HDMI plug to my television is definitely a nice perk, but it's just that; a perk.
I wanted to make sure there weren't any newer scalers in the price range of the EDGE (or even cheaper) that are of similar or better quality. Hell, by now, I figured there might even be a receiver that's around the same price that does as good (if not better) job than the edge. If that's the case, I'll go that route too.
This post is also to make sure there isn't a better price ($540) or better place to buy the EDGE than what I found. And if there's a better scaler/receiver for the same or lower price, I'd really like to know that too. Thanks for reading, everyone.
