Also with sony trinitron 30" HD 1080i would I benefit from blu-ray or upconversion.
Even if your Trinitron may not reap the rewards of a Blu-ray player, there may be another reason you may want to buy one . . .
Do you purchase movies? If you do, and it also sounds like you are gradually upgrading your home theatre, you may still want to buy a Blu-ray player so that your movie collection will be in the latest format. That way, if you purchase an HDTV down the road, you're ready to rock.
PS; all Blu-ray players also upconvert and also HDTV's (LCD, Plasma, etc) also perform upconverting so that they are able to take a regular DVD resolution and play it in their native format.
They all do that to a varying degree of quality, but personally, I view those cheap <$100 DVD players that also brag about upconverting as a bit of a redundant gimmick.
Somebody enlighten me if I'm wrong.
