So what if it doesn't have an upconverter built into the DVD player? The screen is 1080p, the internal scaler of the TV will convert the signal from the dvd player to 1080p. The scalers in newer TVs have proven to have comparable performance to upconverting players. Even my early 1080p Westinghouse set did a great job with it's scaler. Everyone raved about the performance of the upconverter in the HD-A1 at the time, and I could see no difference between using it's abilities or the TV's.
