Upconverters are really only useful for dvds that looked good to begin with. Basically, they rescale the image to HD size, not simply blowing it up the way a "zoom" feature sort of works. The image doesn't look as good as a true HD one, but they still look pretty impressive considering. Like I said, however, this is really only useful for video that was decent to begin with. The 2004 SE dvd, for example, must look fantastic when upconverted because it was very high-resolution and about as sharp as a DVD could possibly look. The GOUT, i am sure, looks equally as crappy as it does on a SD television, if not worse. There just isn't the detail or resolution there to upconvert, especially considering it is super-grainey and non-anamorphic.
