That has not been my experience. It depends on the material. If all you are looking at are closeups, then I *might* agree that upscaled DVD's are up to the task. However, the moment you have a long shot, or a picture of a landscape, Blu-Ray destroys upsampled DVD's.

On something like "Planet Earth", the difference between upscaled DVD's and Blu-Ray is so big, that it is not even funny.
