So I still have a lot of DVDs that I'm not going to replace any time soon, but I hate the way that most (all?) Blu-ray players upscale a DVD to display them on a 1080 screen. The PS3 has a mode that just doubles the pixes (well 4x really) so that the 740x480 resolution is displayed as 1480x960, leaving black bars on the top, bottom, left, and right around the movie. I've tried several players and they all stretch the image out to fill the screen which results in jagged lines etc, to me they all look pretty terrible. So does anyone know of any Blu-ray players that support this type of upscaling or of a device that connects to the output of a DVD player and upscales using this method?

Pros:“Excellent value for the price - Paid $79.95 at Frys.”“Absolutely stunning 24p play back. Networked Apps are flawless (wired). Very customizable. Unbelievable DLNA capability. Ability to skip the unskippables in a DVD. Overall professional onscreen GUI. Audio Quality is surprisingly very good. Upscaling as a customizable, menu driven item. Very Apple-esque.” -
