I have a Sony Wega CRT HD Display that accepts 480p and 480i as well as 1080i through component input. Should I buy DVD player that upconverts or should I buy a dvd player that is progressive scan. I just want to know if I should invest in an upconvert dvd player or if a progressive scan dvd player will do. Thanks for the help!

My Display does not have hdmi or dvi so basically my only options are component. Will I even notice a BIG difference in picture quality with the upconversion?

There are dvd players that upconvert via component, and It can be done. I just want to know if i should spend $120+ on a high end progressive scan DVD player or spend 89.99 on a single disc upconverter that outputs HD via component

The Progressive scan dvd player im looking at is a disc changer.

Most if not allupconvert dvd players will only out put the upconverted signal through hdmi so this would be a useless thing for you to worry about. Invest in a decent progressive scan dvd player with a nice set of component cables (red, green, blue for video and white and red for audio) to get the best picture quality

Upconverting is always better, that way the TV will take the DVD signal no matter what you put in it, and display it at 1080i.

With a progressive scan dvd player the resolution would be 480p. Since your Sony Wega has a resolution up to 1080i, I would recommend purchasing a dvd player that has a up converter built in. You will need to purchase also a HDMI cable if it doesn't come with the dvd player.
