this guy has a 20something inch samsung w/ no HDMI inputs... u won't see any difference from a blu-ray to a DVD with proper upscaling.

Arbitrary distinction. And a wrong one at that.

It has a DVI input, which means if the set itself support 1080p [it's a CRT, so no, it doesn't] it could play it [it can still do 1080i however]. DVI and HDMI are fairly interoperable at the basic level, long as you have a cable with the appropiate connections, or an adapter, which surprise, the OP had.

It also has component connections, which can also carry 1080p video, although again in this instance constrained down to 1080i.

Now, since his television doesn't have an hdmi port, yes, he can't have his television recieve more than 2 channel PCM audio or the advanced loss-less codecs. However, that's really going to be his reciever's job anyway, not the television [with it's awe inspiring 2 speakers plus a subwoofer out cable].

tl;dr : You're wrong.
