Upscaling a a bad quality DVD will look bad. Upscaling a good quality DVD will only look less bad.

Good quality DVD's are only so so, as long as you don't get closer to your set.

If you do you'll want to throw them in the trash realizing there is no real detail.

Unfortunately for many TV series and movies there are only DVD, and for others the studios screw up the Blu Ray release.

Oh with Tv shows, it is fine with me when it was an older show that was shot on video tape so DvD is as good as it is going to get but don't get me started on modern network shows where for some reason despite the fact that they are broadcast in HD the show only get released om DvD, CBS and ABC can be really bad about this, then they want you to pay $45 for a DvD boxset where the picture looks washed out and the sound sounds fuzzy compared to what was broadcast. I refuse to do that, I just record the stuff off of the air, I save money and it looks better.

Some DvDs look fine but if it is a movie that is in the public domain or something, good luck finding a disc that will look good on a larger screen.
