The first upscaler I bought was Sony's first, the 975 or 375 or some such thing. Anyway using the HDMI output and upscaling to my Sony 55" LCDRP (whatever the goddam model is, I dunno, it was new a couple of years ago)the only time it looked better was looking at high frequency test patterns---there was no improvement watching regualr program material.

Since then I don't worry about it, I hook up whatever connections are convenient. My Sony 995 DVD jukebox is hooked to the TV through both HDMI and component, I use the component for watching Academy ratio pictures. The Toshiba upscaler also in the system goes out HDMI. The LD player goes composite and the HD cable box goes component.

Unlike claimed audio improvements claimed video improvements can be captured by cameras, know what I mean?
