The point of an upscaling DVD player is that if your DVD player doesn't upscale the image your HDTV will. The HDTV needs to upscale 480i and 480p images up to its native resolution and it may or may not do a good job at this. upscaling DVD players however tend to have more sophisticated upscaling systems and therefore do a better and cleaner job of upsdcaling the video image than your HDTV whose video upscaler may only be an afterthought rather than a feature. However if your HDTV has a great upscaler you may realize no difference with a DVD upscaler.
