ALL HD displays-even that 4:3 Sony one-do their own internal "upconverting". They HAVE to, to match whatever gets plugged into them with the TV's own specific display circuits and components. LCDs bigger than 32 inches are almost all 1080p, so they all "upconvert" to 1080p unless the input itself was already 1080p (such as a Blu-ray player). External devices such as "upconverting HDMI" DVD players may or may not do any better at that job than the TV would do by itself.
