Do you have a link to that Widescreen article? I'd be interested in seeing if they mention anything about the fact that the DVD players that upscale can't or don't upscale copy protected DVD's which I would suspect is the majority of DVD's on the market. I wonder what DVD they used for their test. I'd also like to see if they mention that so far you can only get 2.0 digital audio from any of the DVD players. The whole upscale and HDMI is a consumer fraud in my book. I have an email from Sony confirming the ns975v won't upscale copy protected DVD's and it states it in the LG owner manual. Is the blame on the movie industry or the electronics companies for selling a feature they know is useless or is it HDMI LLC who put out and marketed a cable that has been made nothing more than a digital version of a RF connector due to the software and hardware limitations? Either way the consumer is the victim.
