I have come to conclusion that NONE of the current bluray players seem to offer any difference in my DVD viewing experience. I have played with my old dvd player which had an option to turn off Progressive scan and I couldnt tell any difference with it on or off, nor could I tell any difference between 1080p or 480p. DVD just looked the same.
Trust your eyes. If you cannot see any difference, probably there is no difference. Since you could appreciate blu-ray, you should see the difference of upscalers if there is any difference, I expect.

I can see that my PC is somewhat better in upscaling in comparison to PS3. Oppo should have a good upscaler. Probably they are using the same upscaler for both blu-ray and dvd players – so both Oppo blu-ray and dvd players could be the same for dvd upscaling..

I can see a huge jump in quality for blu-rays all and above any dvd upscaler.

Sit back and enjoy....
