at first i gave up my hope on DVD when i first watch bluray movie..
howwever, i was pleasantly surprised.. when i pop in DVD9 movie into ps3..
and thru HDMI it upscale it to 720p..
the outcome is really really huge step of upgrade as compared to dvd without upscale..

and juz like andrews said.. its combination n pairing of devices that will make a difference..
remember only HDMI can allow upscaling, not any other connection will allow it no matter which 1080p dvd player u use..
