[quote=plissken99;861862]Your TV will actually upscale the DVDs same as an upscaling player. Thing is, if you get a good upscaling player, it will do a better job than the TV. Many players have high quality scaling chips in them, usually better than the ones in HDTVs. Scaling basically copies existing lines of resolution, and puts them on the screen. The result is a smoother sharper image, and for large displays like a 65in set, it's a must. Of course being modern digital TVs, they have scalers built in, but not as good as scalers in most players.
I have a 32" Westinghouse HDTV. I used a non upscaling DVD player and the picture looked normal. I bought a sub $40 upconverting DVD player (that will remain nameless) and now the picture fills more of the screen and looks better. I to had wanted an Oppo, but when I can get satisfaction at this price, my next purchase will be an HD DVD player whenever I am ready.
What I can't understand is if my TV already up converted, why does the image fill more of the screen with the upconverting player?
