Best video upscaling chip?

What two or three video chips are considered the best in the industry now in DVD players and SSP's for upscaling standard discs? And this may sound like a lame question, but is the video chip the most important thing to consider or the whole circuitry and chip implementation of the device?

I second Mitch. Some of my SD-DVDs look alsmost HD with the XA-2 so it doesn't bother me too much that HD is dead.

Other than the Toshiba HD XA2, which is no longer available, do any other DVD players available now with a video upscaler use the Silicon Optix Reon chip or Realta chip? And does anyone know which video chip the new Oppo 983 coming available soon will have?
