Panasonic's DVDS52 $100 up-scaler (http://hdtv.engadget.com/2006/04/17/panasonics-dvds52-100-up-scaler/)
Samsung ain't the only company out with a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/27/samsung-does-dvd-upscaling-for-a-hundie/">cheap up-scaler</a> now: ladies and gentlemen, say hello to Panasonic's DVDS52, the <em>other </em>high definition DVD up-scaler with HDMI-out and a $100 price tag. We've yet to vouch for the quality of the picture (perhaps because it's not out yet, so far as we can tell) or even get some firm details on this puppy, but as long as you're <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/15/last-minute-hd-dvd-delays-from-best-buy-and-amazon/">waiting for</a> your <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=Blu-ray">Blu-ray</a> or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=hd%20dvd">HD DVD</a> player, you may as well at least be watching video on that HDTV the right way (and the cheap way, which itself is sometimes the right way).
