I guess to each his own....

At 100" using 720p, the differences between 480p and HD should be pretty obvious. My mistake was a steady diet of Dishnetwork HD broadcasts causing dissatisfaction with DVD playback. Now I'm an early adopter for the first time.

I do agree the hardware looks "cheap" but it's done reasonably well so far with an occasional firmware update. I do have a puzzler of a system synergy issue: LG player/amplification/speakers have combined to cause "premature" protection circuit kick-in at relatively low volume levels with lossless/PCM soundtracks. This might be cured with a different player but I'm also eyeing more robust (and matched) amplification.
