I'm thinking of dipping a toe into the water and trying a scaler, if I can find one at a reasonable price. There seem to be some on sale on eBay UK around the £40 ($65) range, usually with SCART input and HDMI output, and an HDMI bypass so that you can plug a blu-ray player in without using another HDMI socket on the TV. What I really don't know is if these things are worth having. But I get the impression that these don't have many options; for example I don't think they can zoom letterboxed video to fill the screen.

Anyone got any suggestions in this area that won't break the bank?

Hi I use a simple/cheap but effective scaler, there are much better scalers on the market, but as you want something not too expensive ...
Personally I prefer one from dvdo, than one you buy from those web companies (scart to hdmi)

look also for other scalers from dvdo

Thanks - that gives me more of an idea, I think.

wat does a scaler do?
does it enhance picture quality?

now that i have a laserdisc player european version DVL-909 and an NTSC player R7G, are there multi version scalers sold on ebay suitable for both PAL and NTSC players?
how much would a high end scaler cost?

do i connect this scaler between tv and laserdisc?
