Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It depends on the progressive scan dvd player itself. Some can convert the standard dvd 480i signal to 480p. Others can convert to 720p, 1080i or 1080p. You should google the model dvd player you have to see how much upconversion it claims to do.
The picture difference is going to be subjective. Some people claim that progressive scan players that convert 480i to 480p or higher look just as good as a blu-ray’s 1080p signal. Other’s say the upconversion brings out the artifacts from the original 480i signal because it’s basically like putting each frame under a microscope.
Generally speaking though you will see very little difference and it’s going to be up to you if you like what you see or not. There are people that pay $2K for a dvd player that upconverts to 1080p and they love it- and there are those who buy the same player and say they **** it.

It is a tough call without some proper testing material.
A common one is a waiving flag - it should have no rough edges when it waves.
Look also into content with multiple horizontal/parallel lines.
