Criterion Collection goes Blu-Ray

Ok, maybe I'm misunderstanding the purpose of up-scaling.

I assumed it was to render the number of lines produced by a DVD in the far greater number of lines endemic to Hi Def display ... and thus making it look somewhere in between a low-def and hi-def image.

Or am I wrong? Would a DVD displayed on a standard monitor look the same if "upscaled" and displayed on a HDTV monitor? That seems to go against common sense, but I'd love if someone in the know could answer that question.
