I have found that with my Sony XBR CRT 16:9 TV, I get the best DVD picture via DVI at 720p. I tried 1080i but to my eyes 720p was a better overall match for my setup. However, DVD player upsampled 1080i or 720p to the TV were both better than 480p.

BUT.... the BEST looking picture comes from my HDTV tuner if the original content was shot in HD. Live HD broadcasts are also incredible and better than any upsampled DVD I've seen.
