I have a 5080 screen for the last month or so, and I must say that I知 really happy with it. My dealer gave me an option, which expires this weekend, to upgrade it for less than $1000. As my viewing distance is around 10 feet, I recognize that I will not enjoy a real full HD image even with the 5010 set. I知 still thinking of upgrading the screen, as I知 reading here and there that the 5010 does SD upscaling better than the 5080. Does anyone know if this is true? Is it really possible? :confused::confused: around 80% of my TV time I watch SD stuff, so this is really crucial for me.
Besides, do you know whether there is another reason, apart of the SD, for which I should consider an upgrade??
Many thanks in advance!

Ditto. I would also like to know about SD performance.

I can't imagine there's any real difference in SD quality. Most certainly, whatever difference that could exist would be imperceptible versus the difference in your bank account at the end of the day.
There are reasons to choose a 5010 over a 5080. However, SD performance doesn't seem like one of them.
