i use Samsung 32" HD ready LCD TV(1080i) paired with Samsung DVD player (with upscaling capabilities up to 1080i) and the output quality is not much there.

So, im using my laptop connect it to my LCD tv via VGA cable and set it to the TV's native resolution (1366x768) to get 1:1 pixel mapping. I play the dvd or media files thru media player classic and do a heavy ffdshow tweaking. The results is much much far better than using my samsung upscaling dvd player. ver impressive. you need a powerful pc/laptop to tweak ffdshow to the max.

happy 'HD'ing
