I'm upscaling DVDs via my PS3, which looks quite good. NTSC broadcasts from the Tivo Series 3 don't look nearly as good. Note that the upscaling and stretching that the plasma is doing to make the broadcast fit on the screen is not doing any favors to the picture. The upscaled DVDs appear in a smaller area of the plasma and look best when it is not stretched to fit.Yes, as you point out I used the term upsample instead of upscaled which is incorrect. But it's essentially the same idea. The processing generates the illusion of additional data, but if you look or listen closely you can tell there is no additional definition in the picture or the sound, whether you're upsamplinga CD or upscaling NTSC.
