3D is dead.

3D is dead on TVs; it's pretty excellent on my 130" projector screen.

Your flat screen TV will almost certainly upscale as well as any budget DVD player, so you're very unlikely to see any difference.

Upscaling DVD players is mostly a marketing gimmick. Every flatscreen has to have the ability to upscale, it's doing it all the time with standard definition broadcasts to upscale to fill the higher definition screen your TV has.

You mean every HD TV. I have an SD flatscreen from way back.

And the upscalers on cheap TV's are really bad, unless you spend hours tweaking the settings. And even then....

I have cheap LG bluray players.(£30ish in supermarkets, maybe a bity more therse days). Ignore the silly smart/app ones and you will be fine. They also play pretty much anything from a usb stick. Well except H265 which would need a 4K player.

In fact to get a good upscaler will cost a few hundred on it's own. But hey! Cheap blurays do a much better job that your TV unless the TV cost over £1000.
