All HD televisions are capable of displaying both HD and SD signals. HD television come in two flavors - 720 and 1080. SD signals are 480 line in North America and other NTSC regions while Europe and other PAL regions use 576 lines for SD images.
Any HD television that receives an SD signal will process the image to resize it (up conversion). The final image on the screen will fill the screen in the same way that an HD signal will. The resizing should be completely automatic and require no adjustment by the user.
So, no up-converter will be required. Many DVD players have up-converters built in and sometimes, the resulting quality can be better than the up-converter inside the television. It is worth experimenting to see which arrangement works best in your own set up.
