What's the deal with these upconverting DVD players? Good? Crapola?
I have a six-year-old Pioneer SD532HD5 RPTV (with native 1080i) that still
looks great. And a big stash of regular ol' DVDs. Any upside to one of these
units over my trusty Pioneer Elite DV-05 player?
Thanks all.

Check out the Oppo DV971H at www.oppodigital.com I have one and it does an
incredible job of upconverting to 1080i on my Sony. It will take those ol'
DVD's to a whole new level.

Thanks for the info. One more question: Does it upconvert only through the
DVI output? I don't have any digital inputs on my monitor.
