Who else preferred how DVDs looked on their old tube TVs over their HDTVs

comes down to scaling quality. with a video processor dvd can look pretty stunning on a HDTV set.
however with poor scaling dvd can look like cack on a HDTV. it really depends on how well the scaling implementation was done. HD projectors look pretty stunning with DVD but they tend to have great scaling due to the image size required, poor scaling just would not work.
