I just got a Samsung 1080P7 DVD player. My question is: Should I be seeing a dramatic difference in pic quality when I upscale to 720p? My TV is a Sony Bravia 40" (720p native). Honestly I can't tell a bit of difference. Of course I am using a good quality HDMI cable, but there is no visible improvement that my eyes (which are pretty discerning) can see.
Thoughts?

That makes sense because Pixar films look stunning even at 480p, while older DVD's that I have look crappy no matter what.Johnny_Hangover wrote:My understanding of upscaling is that how a standard def DVD upscales is dependent upon how it was originally authored, but beyond that, I got nothing.
