My Blu-ray player is connected to my flat screen via an HDMI cable; the player supposedly has a feature that upscales standard DVDs to 1080p HD, but again, I can't tell the difference in picture quality.

Couple of things here... many of the smaller, inexpensive flat screen tvs are only 720p not 1080. Are your sure your set is *capable* of 1080p or 1080i?

The "upscale" quality of Blu-Ray players varies but will never look as good as it does when playing a real Blu-Ray disk. Have you tried it on a Blu-Ray disk?
