Please verify the following statements:

The TV will upconvert a fed signal (say DVD at 480p) to 1080i.

Most (all?) HDTV's will upconvert to it max native resolution if you set
it to do it. There's usually a menu option for what you want it to do.

The upconverting DVD player will feed an upconverted 1080p signal to the
TV.

Only if it supports 1080p upconversion.

The TV is a Sony XBR that has the ability to display 1080p; the DVD
player has the 1080p upconversion capability (also Sony).

Hence, it appears that the DVD player upconversion should be a better
way to go.

Try both and see. It could be the TV does a better job.

Not sure if there will actually be any discernible difference. I have
the equipment and was wondering if I'm looking at the parameters
correctly. TIA.

I'm not sure either. I don't own the same equipment.
