Obviously an Oppo peculiarity. My Denon DVD player, the 2910, and the Pioneers I've owned have all offered upscaling to 720p as well as 1080i or p, and offer it with analog output as well.

Probably one of the ways that Oppo cuts costs and not a bad way to cut it in many cases.

I've got an LCD screen with 1366 x 768 resolution and find upscaling in players and receivers unneccesary. If I let the player or receiver upscale to 720p, the TV is going to rescale to 768 in order to display the picture so I end up with rescaling on an already rescaled image and that either looks no better or slightly worse than simply sending the standard def signal to the TV and relying on a single rescaling process.

In general I'm unconvinced about the inclusion of rescaling in players and receivers.
