What improvements? There was nothing specific in any of those reviews
other than "it looks good", which is expected. There were no comparisons
against the very best upconversion systems.

"Looked a little better" equals "fine job" to you? This is why I don't
think you can read very well.

All upconversion is "scaling"...duh. But, it's best not to do it after
you lose access to the MPEG-2 data. Good external scalers do a fine
job and can be applied to all outputs, but cost a *lot* of money to do
it very well. It's much cheaper and better to do it inside the player,
and that's what serious people do...they just don't use CE players.
