I'll be getting a 1080p projector in in January. Based on my research I'm leaning towards the Panasonic PT-AE2000U.
However, in the review of that projector at projectorcentral.com, the following is mentioned when comparing it to the Sanyo PLV-Z2000:
This is of concern to me since I'll be watching more SD content than HD for quite some time to come.
Now... what about upconverted SD content? Since the AE2000 handles HD content better than the Z2000, do you think upconverted SD content look better on the AE2000 than the Z2000? Or is SD content considered SD content whether it's upconverted or not?
Like I said, it's unlikely anyone can straight up answer my questions, but some input would be nice.
Thanks.

If you are using an upscaling DVD player, you will be feeding it an HD signal. So whether a SD DVD looks "smoother" will simply be a function of how much detail the set reveals; personally I'd rather have "rough" looking SD DVD because I know SD DVD actually looks rough to begin with, if it looks smooth I know the set is not revealing the full detail - meaning HD content will suffer.
For instance, SD DVDs on my KDS-60A3000 can be brutal sometimes, but that is simply because the set reveals all the flaws in the transfer. I want that, though. I don't want something that is going to smear my HD picture. If I want DNR I can enable it in the DVD player (or use the TV's builtin option if it has one), I don't want it permanently on.
