I've narrowed my tv selection down to a couple of Sony 52" 1080p tv's, one is 120hz and the other is an XBR 240hz(i'll probably get the 120). You're saying even though the signal from the player is standard, the tv is upconverting it anyways? I think all three of the lcd's were identical. If what you're saying is true, then in this case I preferred the standard player with upconversion taking place in the tv rather than the player. I don't recall which players they used. Also is it true that you only benefit from blu ray with newly recorded movies? A salesperson(same Best Buy)said don't think you're going to go out and pick up your old movies and have them be blu-ray quality(Labyrinth was her example, which is also a fav of mine). That did make sense to me, but you'd think a little more definition could be squeezed out somewhere or somehow from older movies transferred to blu ray(?)
