After doing some research in reading the forum, I am unable to decipher what the verdict is on a solid receiver that will do 1080p upconversion at a reasonable cost. Please lend me some assistance.

Wow! I am not really aware of any receiver that will do 1080p upconversion in that price range. I will be very interested to see the results....

Don't think so..

Check back in Spring 2008..

I've got one for you...and for only $500 more I can sell you the model that does cold fusion...

Kidding aside, the cheapest I've seen is the onkyo for around $1600 msrp

The Sony DG1000 gets you to 1080i, I'd call it good if I were you.

Watch for reviews of the soon to be released (i.e. next week) Sony STR-DG910 for MSRP $499. The Sony website and product manual mentions upconversion via HDMI but with NO specifics.

I agree with the Spring 2008 comment. I think in the next interation, even the low-end Marantz, Denons will have 4 HDMI in, 1 HDMI 720p upconversion, and maybe 1080p upconversion on the mid-models.

The Denon 4806CI is a great AVR. 1080P output for all analog inputs as well as THX. Passes 1080p over HDMI. A great mid level AVR.
