I have a new Pioneer DV-400V player and a Sharp AQUOS LC-52D64U 1080p television. I run HDMI at 480i from the standard DVD player to the TV and let the Sharp do the upconversion. I have the movie "American President" and it has always had the worst video artifacts I have seen on any movie using several different players. I guess the Sharp TV has great upconversion circuitry because now almost all the artifacts are removed. If you have a 1080p TV with HDMI inputs a player that passes HDMI at 480i native resolution might be just the ticket for you too. My library of over 700 DVDs has never been more enjoyable.
