All it needs to have is one HDMI output, and as long as it bit-streams Dolby True HD and DTS HD master audio, and does 1080p 24, its good enough.

$100 BD players can do that now.

With DVD it was understandable since you could upscale DVDs to 1080p using high end chips like the HQV Reon.

But until we start to see 4k (or higher) displays, upscaling of blu rays wont be necessary.
