how is the picture quality on this player?
I need to upgrade my Panny dvd-s27 player, as it is just not doing very well with my 48" jvc rptv. I would like to use the tv's HDMI input, but i dont want to spend a fortune on a new player. Next year in the spring, i will be upgrading to one of the hd formats. I just need this to tide me over but i dont want to spend alot. (this one will be moved into my bedroom to replace my old koss player when the hd/bd player comes)

will i get better picture than my current player? hows the upscaling on it? My set automatically upconverts all signals to 1080i (annoying as hell) so i would like to at least be able to send a better signal than the one the tv is upconverting to.

the Samsung DVD-HD860 is selling for $139 at a local retailer.
