Is 32" to small for an upconverted dvd player?
I've been thinking for sometime now about upgrading my dvd player to one with an upconverter. I could just get an HD player, but I think it wise to wait and see which format succeeds.
Anyways I was looking at either the Oppo or the Sony DVP 75. I will be running it through a 32" LG lcd tv. I'm wondering if my screen is big enough to notice the difference. What do you think? Is it worth the investment?
Thank you in advance.

As far as the upconversion of dvd, I don't see much difference. Now the audio is a different story. The Toshiba gives audio tracks on dvd a boost. They sound much better.

With a fixed-pixel display (LCD), you very well could notice a difference. It depends more on your TV's scaler than the size of the TV.
My advice: buy one from a local B&M and try it out.
