"Like we said before, the DMP-BD10A is an excellent upscaling DVD player and is maybe only a smidgen behind players equipped with HQV processing, like the BD-P1200 and the Toshiba HD-XA2."

That is why I said the term best is subjective; Panasonic focused on upgrading certain other aspects one of which was not HQV processing. That being said it still upconverts SD-DVD very well.

"Overall, the DMP-BD10A is a top-notch upconverting player.... The DMP-BD10A plowed through the rest of the tests, demonstrating lightning-fast 2:3 pull-down processing on a test utilizing footage of a race car, then having no problem displaying vertically and horizontally scrolling titles."
