Yes, I do have one of the LCD-projected Sony sets, absolutely breathtaking quality, and sadly discontinued (stupid ass consumers and their "flat panels"). The biggest reason is the filtering kit inside of it, I can tweak pretty much every video setting imaginable, from IRE to color depth to geometry.
Many cheap sets, and many cheap DVD players, are known for the lackluster playback quality. It might be a combination of several issues (not a single item) if the disc really is good.

I took the DVD to a Best Buy where they had some upsampling players hooked up to HDTV's of various sizes, I tried it on a couple of Blu-ray players and one other one. Clearly what I was seeing previously wasn't being upsampled/upscaled. There was a marked difference.
However, there still seemed to be some loss of detail, even when standing well back from the screen. It seemed the image was better with things that were close up where there wasn't much motion. I did notice that the image looked better on some sets than others from the same source, same size screen. The sales guy seemed to actually be more knowledgeable than the typical boxmart floor employee. It was his assertion that some upsamplers are better than others, that what I was seeing was the low end of the "better" units at that job. I didn't take down any model numbers or the like but clearly the severe degradation of image I've seen before was primarily hardware related. -
