So you can't see the diff between an upscaled DVD and a BD?

That's pretty unusual. Admittedly some DVDs are excellent so upscale well (especially with the Oppo), and some BDs aren't that great. In general though, I would say there's a large diff. You can't create detail with an upscaler...
Edit: I should mention that your and Funky Bob's panels must really be 720p native (source signal-wise). So maybe the conversions required with a 1080 source cause some weirdness or degradation. I've never used a 720p panel this way so don't know, mine are native 1080p and 1080i (CRT)...
