Ultimate AV Mag says "DVD is officially legacy video"

Intent to prove that the DVD isn’t dead in these dog days of the format war, McIntosh played a clip from Robots and a yet-to-be-released Jet Li action film via 480i component video, which was then processed to 1080p by the VP1000 processor and sent to the projector via HDMI.

I don’t wish to be cruel, but the fact is that while the format war unequivocally sucks, after living with HD DVD for several months DVD’s shortcoming are painfully apparent and on a high quality 1080p projector there’s nowhere to hide. Edge enhancement and other artifacts were readily apparent; artifacts that simply don’t exist on HD DVD. It’s a new world and DVD is officially legacy video.
