The DVD player is capable of up-scale the source to 720p/1080i, and it does make a big difference. The opening scene in Finding Nemo where Marlin and Coral are talking about how they got all the big space and big space ocean, I switch back and forth between 480p and 720p and I notice that most of the noise present in 480p are gone. It looks smoother and more 3D looking. Now, my DVD player isn't equip with Farouja chipset or anything and I can see the difference... imagine a player that got the Farouja chipset and upscale the DVD to 720p or 1080i (it's as close as HD as I can get).
My TV is native 720p so naturally when watching movie, I upscale it to 720p. It always help if the source is high bitrate (like those of superbit or where movie is the only thing on the DVD such as the matrix, etc).
