my question is this, if i get a blu ray player and only play dvds(not blu ray disks) on it, will the picture quality be better than what im using now which is a panasonic upconvert hdmi signal ?

While most blu-ray players do support upconversion, you will not likely see a difference versus your current dvd player. If you really wish to eliminate the ghost-like border and fully enjoy the benefits of your HDTV, drop the money for a blu-ray player AND blu-ray movies.
