Any comments or experience with upconverters?

I will also use a computer to drive the projector

I am thinking the upconverting DVD player is way better than just expanding the computer display fullscreen- which simply stretches the pixels, essentially.

This is suppose to increase resolution- a big differene IMO.

Yes, when you just fullscreen DVD on the monitor, it just stretches the 480lines to the native res!

However, with postprocessing software, like ffdshow, you can eliminate this and actually 'scale' the image to your native resolution, and have MUCH better resolution - look into it. there is an article talking about this at htpcnews.com
