I have to be honest, I love HD as much as the next guy, but right now DVD upscaling has been great in my house. Between the two-year-old whose movies aren't available in HD yet, a "Finance Committee" that is waiting for the end of a format war, and (worst-of-all) crappy HD and Blu-Ray selections, upscaled dvd is where its at.
I have mid-range Mits DLP and a Tosh VHS-DVD burner with upscaling (the wife got to pick) and I am constantly amazed how much better the PQ is compared with the three other DVD players I had running at 480p over component and letting the Mits do the scaling. Its crazy. I was expecting it to be total crap. I watch a ton of SD on my HDTV so I amused to poor PQ.
So here is one anecdotal piece of evidence that upscaling may not be a gimmick.
