It's going to cost a lot more than the TV.
The device you linked, while I've never used one, seems very utilitarian to me. It seems aimed at people who need to convert SD to HD and that's about it. I wouldn't expect it to do a better job than whatever is built into your TV.
You'd be better off just getting a dedicated LD display from Craigslist, probably for free. A friend just gave me a 20" Toshiba that makes everything NTSC look amazing. While it may not make a lot of sense at the moment, that's usually the best path, economy-wise.
Even with the best conversion on the market, LD is still going to *really* show it's seems at 70". That's about twice as big as the biggest TVs from when LD died, and about four times the average set from when it was first put on sale.

I've used that converter. Your TV will probably do a better job plugging the composite straight into the TV.
