unfortunately, i don't :-(

but let's see if i can hang. you are saying that the PQ (picture quality) wouldn't be harmed by current HDTV's 3D comb filters (CF) compared to the HDTV's crappy upscaling abilities? you are referring to laserdisc as SD (standard definition?).

what's a decent used upscaler? will one of those $100-$200 used adjustable faroudjas work? i can get a faroudja NRS for like free - but they are proprietary to a specific application, correct?

we are looking at a 42". so, you think that LCD looks better than LED? i've heard that some people still prefer plasma over the others.

again, we will buy a bluray player. but LDs are a dollar... or free - hence why i'd still like them to look decent on a new display. plus DVDs can't touch LD's uncompressed digital audio for concert discs. does bluray still compress audio? or is it cd quality (or better, like SACD or DVD-A)?

thanks,
Robby
