Samsung DVD-HD960 Up-Converting DVD Player
Great value
Extremely good picture for the price.  The upconverted 1080p output looks great on my 1080p HDTV (Sony 55A2000) when connected over HDMI.  This player uses the same basic technology (Faroudja DCDi) as the highly-rated but slightly more expensive Oppo OPDV971H.  If you own a 1080p TV and don't want to buy an expensive video scaler, the Samsung HD960 provides a very nice compromise solution for producing high-def output from your standard-def DVD's.
