"480p scaled to 1080p is NOT the same as a 1080 source." --Leonard

Too true. And probably a good point to the original question from Cliff.
Originally, part of the question from Cliff's friend was whether 1080p
should be considered over a 1080i monitor. Of course, that lead to a lot
of discussion of whether a 1080i monitor is even out there, given the
nature of LCD technology.
However, the point I was trying to make was that there is a benefit to
watching 480p material upscaled to a 1080p display. I imagine it would be
very costly to replace an entire DVD collection with a Blu-Ray one. I had
my doubts but the first time I viewed an upscaled, low budget production on
our Christie 7K projector with a full 1920x1080 raster, I was pleasantly
surprised. of course, it didn't rival Blu-Ray material.
I believe Cliff's friend mainly uses DBS so perhaps my bringing it up is
moot since DBS will provide the superior 1080p material.
