HD Guru suggests HDTVs upscale better than DVD players
According to HD Guru, most modern high definition TVs will upcsale standard definition content better than an upscaling DVD player will.
Of course, that statement is open to a lot of interpretation, and it will depend on what hardware is being tested.
Older or cheaper HDTVs may not fare as well against newer upscaling DVD players, particularly those with a lot of additional circuitry.
The article goes on to extol the virtues of Blu-ray. It's worth noting that many titles won't ever be released on Blu-ray, and those with a large library of DVDs generally won't spend money on upgrading to Blu-ray versions that exist. Nevertheless, Blu-ray players will also upscale DVDs.
I think the moral of the story is to look at your home cinema set up and then test out hardware to find something you're happy with.
