Of course, like Blu-Ray transfers, not all DVDs are created equally and some DVDs such as the digitally remastered Ultimate Edition James Bond or Superbit movies look "HD Quality" like upscaled.

I have a 32" LCD TV and some times I have a hard time telling the difference between the two. However, when I watch them on my 60", it is clearly apparent Blu-ray is superior.

I think it is a big advertisting point for us to prove to the uneducated consumer there is a major difference between upconverted SD and BD. Pushing HD audio of course helps too.
it is probably some really bad BD transfer, or something is colossaly wrong with Your setup... as i said zillions of times, huge difference is visible even on a smallest monitors/tvs today even on 720p... there's no point in any debate or need for proving such a simple fact that upconverted dvd is still just a little better standard dvd, light years behind BD (what is the name of that hddvd idiot who said he preferred upc. dvds over hd?)... today i use Samsung 37'' 1080p but year before i started with 24'' Dell, and 2 yrs ago even apple HD trailers, way from true BD movies, looked uncomparably better on 20'' monitor then any sdvd... It is simply uncomparabele. Period. Unless U watch movies from 20 ft or more, of course.
