Question: Helios X3000 vs PC connected via VGA ?

I currently have my JVC LT-32DX7 LCD TV connected to my PC via VGA at 1280x768.

Will an upscaling DVD player like the Helios X3000 (via Component or HDMI) provide any better picture quality for DVDs and/or DivX/XVid files than just playing them on the PC ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Assuming you set it all up right the PC will do a much better job.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't understand your point about setting it up "right" though, please can you explain?
