I'm really surprised people seem to keep talking about upscaling as if it has anything at all to with high definition. Have you watched any good blu-rays lately? Try the No Country For Old Men disc on a 1080p plasma and the difference will blow you away. *That's* making the most of high-def.

What you are saying goes against the experience of many V+ users who have said how impressed they are with the upscaled pq. If there were blurring/smearing people would be commenting on it. Upscaling may be second best but in my experience it is closer to HD than you are suggesting. Whilst for many enthusiasts this might not be good enough, obviously they want the best. In my experience most people are nowhere near that discriminating to worry about the picture being a little less sharp than HD.
