I started this thread - I DID NOT advocate a new forum for "one player".
I advocated a new forum to discuss upconverting technology and player capabilities - regardless of what type of device those capabilities were incorporated within.
I assume your reference to "one player" relates to the new Toshiba XD-E500. I would expect some discussion of that player would end up in a "SD-DVD Upconverting" forum. I am advocating having a place where a somewhat mature discussion can occur about players like this, and comparisons to how well other players (be they SD-DVD, HD-DVD, blu-ray, combos, game systems, etc.) upconvert, etc.
And hopefully the moderators would keep out the childish behavior that goes on constantly in smackdown and prevents any rational discussion of anything. I also do not see this "SD-DVD Upconverting" forum as advocating SD-DVD over blu-ray. It could easily advocate particular blu-ray players as we discuss which blu-ray or combo players have the better upconverting capabilities to improve our enjoyment of our SD-DVD collections.
Upconverting SD-DVD technology and implementations in ce devices is an important topic in the world of home theater. It warrants a place to be discussed in an adult fashion where folks can share knowledge, learn from others and hear about the experiences of others without wading through tons of unrelated material - or in the case of smackdown - tons of nonsense.
