Good point. Although I'd modify that to say "most cases" instead of "any case".

I've seen some HDTVs that do a great job of scaling-up standard def pictures, but not many. Most of the time, an HDTV will simply stretch a standard def picture to fill the screen, without any additional image processing, which causes yet more fuzziness.

Doug's description seemed like it was more than just bad upscaling, though.
