(2) It's not totally BS. To be displayed on a HD screen, the standard
definition signal must be deinterlaced and scaled somewhere. Either in the
player, in the display, or in some separate processor box. One of these might
do it better than the others. They all can do it, but none can perform
miracles on a composite signal.

I recently watched some episodes of Mission: Impossible (Season 3) on my
new Panasonic 50" plasma played on a Panasonic Blue-Ray disk player. As
you say, it's not a miracle, but I was very impressed with how good the
picture was.

It didn't compare to the best 1080 pictures I've seen, but I thought it
was close to some of the 720 pictures I've seen on cable (actually
FIOS). No doubt, if I were able to do a-b comparisons, I could tell the
difference, but I was a little worried that I would find all of my
standard DVDs unwatchable.
