Read the thread. Even if NGE were released in 1080p, you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I want EoE on blu ray it would look so sick.
Why in God's name would I wanna keep writing about characters whose central preoccupation are weed and dick and fart jokes? I mean, ya gotta grow man. Don't you ever want anything more for yourself? I know this poor hapless son of a bitch does. I look into his sorry doe eyes and I just, I see a man crying out. He's crying out, "When Lord? When the fuck can your servant ditch this foul-mouthed little chucklehead to whom I am a constant victim of his folly, so much so that it prevents him from ever getting to kiss a girl! Fuck! When, Lord when? WHENS GONNA BE MY TIME?

When ADV existed, they were partnered with a Japanese company named Sojitz who really owned the rights to many series ADV was releasing sometime around 2006, 2007. Sojitz pulled those titles away from ADV, due to some sort issue, and the rights to most of them were bought up by FUNimation. ADV now had a major partner in their company that was doing their best to pull them under, and so ADV disolved, and set up a series of other companies, including Section23 Films, and transferred all of their properties (including Eva TV, and the Director's cuts) as well as most of their staff.
More info here and here
So, to recap,
Section23 Films has Eva TV, and the Director's cuts.
No one has Death and Rebirth (True)^2 and End of Eva (or at least, no one has announced it after Manga Ent. let their license expire)
FUNimation Entertainment has Evangelion 1.0, 1.01. and 1.11 ONLY.
No one has announced 2.0 and 2.22. Likely that'll be a while, unless Khara/Whoever else changes their tactic for how to release the movie in America. See here for more info. (Question 2)

Well, Funi's Next Episode Preview for 2.0 stated "You can (not) advance" is "coming soon", which I personally thought implied that Funimation would snag the rights to 2.22 and the rest.
Guess we'll see. (Fingers crossed that Funi will get the rights to Renewal Feature Films though...)
Anyway, if Eva in HD is simply upscaled, I'm not sure if it'd be "worth it" so to speak. Renewal/Platinum look and sound fine as is, I think. I could be wrong considering I haven't really followed along with the whole HD and Blu-Ray craze though. /My two cents.

Damn. I was hoping for ADV to transfer NGE to Funimation.
I could've sworn that when the show was restored in 2003, it was restored and remastered in HD. Either it's me or it's a false statement. (course, HD wasn't really popular back then, so the restoration team might've focused more on the DVD version than HD. ...you know what? The DVD is good enough for now.) Yet again, that's what the Rebuild series is for.
Also, I, too, wish that Funi would get the Renewal films. I hope Manga Entertainment doesn't get them again.

Manga most likely won't even try for thm. They let the license lapse after. I'm hoping for Section23 Films, so we can finally get a damn renewal boxset.

Here's a thing to wonder though, let's say for arguments sake that Section23 Films does decide to get the old films. Would people buy a renewal boxset in Blu-ray, even though only End of Eva is worth releasing in that format given it's the only one that originated in 35 mm, though, episode 16 (I think) was mastered from a 35mm copy, and notice it's noticeably lower quality compared the rest of the series
(not that it doesn't still look better than the previous release, it's just that it doesn't look as good as the rest of the TV series.
