Before I got my own HDTV everywhere I'd go and see SDTV on one I thought it looked terrible. I'm pleasently surprised at how good SDTV actually looks on my system thou. I run everything thru my HTPC (MCE 2005). DVD, HDTV, SDTV, Music, etc etc. I'm totally sold on PUREVIDEO from Nvidia (6x00/7x00 cards + nvDVD decoder). It really is an awesome upconverter/postproccesor. I read it does a better job then most upconverting DVD players and virtually all TVs, and I believe it.
