Even with a "decent" HDTV, the de-interlacing and/or upscaling processing
couold still be better in the player, so its best to compare. In general, I
think you'll find that "most" prefer to have player do the processing, they
do tend to use better porcessing chips in teh players vs the tvs...this is
not true for every case, but its a pretty commonly held opinion among people
doing just that sort of thing...
