Lets say that I needed a plain jane DVD player sometime in the future and the price of Blu-Ray came down to a very afordable price. Also Im waiting for the right 1080P Plasma price to come along.Do any HD players downcovert to 480P?

via various outputs, but I don't know how it looks. For regular DVDs, it isn't down converting though.

Some of the HD players have connections for component. I was told that this would work for playing an HD disc and obviously for SD DVD. Unsure what the overall PQ would be as I suppose it is dependent on the video chip included with the player. If it is better than what I already own, then that will provoke me to buy a player a bit sooner even without an HD display! :)

  Hi Robert,
  
  It would be nice to have improved SD while I'm waiting for my Pioneer Elite sometime in the future.I'm going to be very patient, read all the reviews,wait until there is a great selection of Blu-ray discs, and wait around for a good price.My final destination is probably a Pioneer Elite 50" (the latest)and a Japanese made blu-ray player.

    Actually, the picture quality over component is much improved over other DVD players I've had in the past. It is the Denon DVD1920 universal player. Got it for a good price back then and it'll do for now. My Tosh 50" RRTV only has connection for component.
    
    I can buy a better display and then upconvert with this Denon player in the meantime but really I also await the right price for the display and HD player! :)
