So... Given that 90% of their viewing is going to be SD TV on digital cable (Artifacts 'R Us) I wussed out and bought the non-HD Sony instead (KV32FS120). It even came with a free stand; what more could one ask for.
Thanks !!
EDIT -- here's a bit of info I dug up on DRC modes. It all came off the Internet so use with caution :
1. Interlaced mode upconverts to 960i not 480p, in other words the image is still interlaced but has twice as many lines. I assume there is a >1 field delay because a simple line doubler would not be able to do this...
2. Progressive mode upconverts to 480p, seems to be a re-interleaving of two frames, not a line doubler, because they warn heavily about motion artifacts
3. Cine-motion is typical reverse 3-2 pulldown; still no idea whether it falls back to Progressive or Interlaced when film content is not detected. Since Cine-Motion runs 480p it would pretty much have to fall back to Progressive...
