General Comments
Picked a Hitachi HDB73 up for £30 from Argos. Excellent value for money. Easy to set up, remote is quick, and the picture from my 22" monitor via HDMI looks great. Separate audio RCA jacks for the audio as well, which is useful when your monitor HDMI input is video only.
The 720p upscaling really does make a difference, especially when the source material is good. BBC1 documentaries look great upscaled. Some of the lower bandwidth channels not quite as good.
Not quite the same as HD of course, but very good.
Can't really fault it -excellent!
