Your new TV can probably upscale as well or better than any upscaling DVD player. This issue is argued to death on the video forums with converts on both sides of the issue. I have both a prog-scan (Panasonic) and a upconverting Toshiba DVD player. I use component cables with the Panasonic and an HDMI cable with the Toshiba. I've been experimenting now for a couple of months and I'm still on the fence. I use AVIA in both instances to calibrate. If you do buy an upconverting player, don't look for much, if any improvement. The new LCD's are really doing a better job than the earlier models in a number of areas including upconversion.Originally Posted by Mag_Neato
