Need upscaling DVD player with signal to LCD

Im looking for a good upscaling DVD player that has an appropriate output so I can hook it straight into an LCD montior. (DVI or VGA i was thinking)
Any that support this? If not, what is the best method to connect it to an LCD monitor?

Not knowing your budget, I'll suggest a very good one:

Ok, let me qualify my question. I would like to know the cheapest model which can do this, and secondly the best one that is under $300 or in that range. Somehow I dont think this is under $300...
How much is that unit btw?

The Panasonic DVD-S97S is a good choice for about $250. There are some cheaper choices, but nothing as good.

The Simmetry is $9k.

You can buy an HDMI to DVI cable. They're reasonably cheap.

VGA, you're on your own.
