Default MSN: Still pushing upscaling
In their article on "Cheap HDTV Tips", MSN is still running with the misconception that upscaling = HD.

Quote:
Skip the Blu-ray player: Blu-ray won the high-definition DVD war over a year ago, but Blu-ray players still cost a couple of hundred bucks. Meanwhile, Blu-ray movie selection remains limited (about 1,500 titles to date), and they cost more than their DVD counterparts. What's a cash-strapped HDTV owner to do?
Simple: Forgo Blu-ray for now and buy an "upconverting" DVD player. These models give ordinary DVDs an HD makeover, upscaling the pixels to take advantage of your TV's higher resolution. The results aren't quite on par with Blu-ray, but they're a definite improvement -- and you get to enjoy the movies you already own. Upconverting DVD players range from $50 to $100. Estimated savings: $150.
At least they got the Monster Cable scam right.
