Do you know of a reasonably priced video scaler/processor that will upconvert VHS and Laser Disc?

Question

My dad has a Laser Disc player and the picture doesn't look as good on his new HDTV. I'm looking for a reasonably priced video scaler that would improve the picture.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, good performing video processors will not be cheap.

One of the very best video processors is the DVDO iScan VP50 and at $2,500, it better be.

The lowest end of the DVDO product line, the VP20, costs $1,500, which is lower in price but still expensive.

You can take your chances with eBay, but you do have to make sure the seller has a good reputation by checking his feedback rating and there is no guarantee that you may be able to score a bargain.
