Somewhere not too far down in this Video forum somebody posted a link to AVS a while ago showing all the really good Kuro tech was NOT being used in any Panny display to date. I thought it was Joe... Panny used some of the cheaper stuff, but none of the expensive chemical processes that really give the last Kuros the big edge. Kuro Elites still sell for big bucks here.
To join the "choir": I find SD looks atrocious on my Kuro. This is why people often use external scalers. Modern BDPs have pretty good scalers, way better than what's built into displays, so not as big an issue for discs. As to why, I'm sure you can imagine that a source image that has the exact same resolution as the display device is going to map 1:1 and look good. The other part of that is blowing up an image of a given number of pixels to fill a much larger number of pixels (the HD display)...it's going to look blocky and smeary etc. without some decent intelligent processing.
