I used PS/2 as my DVD player for years

Posted by 4season on July 2, 2007 at 17:02:02:
Call me ignorant, but until the Toshiba HD-A20 arrived, I was using an earlier Playstation 2 as my DVD player via component video, mostly on a 27" Samsung "HD ready" CRT, and with the TV doing the deinterlacing, and I was reasonably happy, except for the fan noise and the touchiness with dirty/scratched disks.

With the 32" Sharp LCD, the PS/2 no longer looked so hot: Too obviously pixelized. PS/3 is said to do it's scaling in software, so I'd expect that firmware updates could considerably improve it.
