What ? Upscaled DVD like HDTV ? You must be kidding...

@Eric Van Haesendonck: Really. If you can't see the obvious quality increase of a 1080p MPEG-2,VC-1 or better than everything else H.264 encoded video stream over SDTV MPEG-2 DVDs which don't even have a real 16:9 resolution but 16:9 is re-constructed at the decoding stage and the picture encoded in a 4 :3 format... then you either never watched any HDTV stream yet.

The quality difference is huge, anyone can see that. Upscaled DVDs can look good but nowhere near real HDTV sources.
