Video upscaling worth it?

[Kreth]

I just found this converter on Monoprice. It accepts component and outputs HDMI. Only outputs at 720P, but it's an example of one option I was talking about. Ideally, I'd want something that would accept up to three inputs, so I don't have to chain switches and converters.
Mario, SWMBO ain't buying the PS3 suggestion. Thanks for trying, brother!

This model doesn't upscale as far as I can tell (and the Vizio site). The input says 480I/P depending on what's connected.

Forgot about all the numbers and P's - how does it look to you now?

It looks much better than my old console, of course. I'm just looking to squeeze the best video out of my setup as I can.
