Apples and oranges inasmuch as I'm talking about scaling down (settop
DVD player for an anamorphic DVD on a 4/3 TV, so from 480 lines to about
360 lines) versus scaling up (from 720 to 768 lines).  I also wasn't
referring to interlaced content, so no deinterlacing necessary.  The
only thing the DVD player would do is pulldown the video, which doesn't
affect quality.

My only point was that shitty scaling algorithm equals shitty quality.
However, no matter how shitty the scaler, if you don't need to scale,
then you're not going to butcher the quality.  Decent LCDs probably have
very good quality scalers so using a 768 line display is not going to
hurt.  But for the cheap Acers of the world, I remain woefully
pessimistic.
