One should, of course, have a progressive DVD player, since the 480i-480p translation is best done with information that only the DVD, and DVD player, have. Past that, you should probably leave it to you set. So these upconverting players are mostly just a waste of money, as the article says.
If you want a useful extra feature, look for DivX (plays AVI files directly) and a good deinterlacer (like Faroudja's DCDi).
