You can pick up an upconverting (aka upconversion) DVD player for pretty cheap (under $100). DVD movies start showing digital artifacting (i.e. jaggy edges) when they're blown up past a certain size, and an upconverting DVD player will help minimize that.

Make sure it's connected to the TV via a component video cable (it's a 5 plug deal) or HDMI cable (if your TV has one).

Congrats on your purchase!!
