I picked one of the latest Sony 40" LCD XBR Bravias the other day and tried it out with my progressive scan player through component inputs. Frankly, the output on the TV was crap. There were alternating vertical bars about an inch wide an inch apart that had pixels that seemed to be shimmering. Tried different component cables and even S-video looked better. Then I went out and bought one of the Toshiba upconverting players using HDMI cable. Wow! What a difference. It's not as good as true HD programming but much better than progressive scan through component inputs.
