It depends on if your television or player as the better scaler.

interesting, why do you say that.

Also, why would the Sony Tech say that it doesn't upconvert? He has to be retarded then. I wish I would have copied the convo for you to read. I mean verbatim, Sorry, this player does not have that feature, it is one you are looking for, its not available on this player. ????????????????

On my Panasonic BD35, I can see a difference. For instance, if I take my Sony upconverter and set it to output at 480p or 720p and my panny bdp at 1080p and play star wars empire strikes back, i notice the added detail of the picture, is it super significant? No. But is it noticable? Yes. And they are both connected via HDMI.
