That old chestnut again? Oh boy.

Any HDTV will upscale an SD image, and there is nothing special about the V+'s upscaling. For good upscaling, try a PS3 or one of Toshiba's XDE DVD players, as they do proper intelligent interpolation and not just scaling/blurring but even that is a million miles away from HD.

At the end of the day, garbage in, garbage out.
