If yes, then will there be a difference in video quality, had I gone with vsx1019 receiver (has 1080p upscaling) with my KRP?

By the way, I turn the fans on. Not funny...

Quick question - are there any hard and fast rules as to the "ideal" height for mounting these (it's my first wall-mounted set). In other words, if your primary seating position is x feet from the wall, the set should be centered at y feet ? I'm sure it's really just personal preference, but I'm curious at to people's feedback. Thanks in advance.

I got my vsx919 today, and hooked it up to my KRP. I was most interested in how the SD programming looks on my TV (480i). I had 3 connections from my Direct TV SD receiver to my TV.

1. Direct TV was connected to my vsx919 via RCA cable, and HDMI connection between vsx919 to my KRP. Once I did that, I saw on my KRP, that the video quality was 480p, and 24bit color. Blacks on my KRP were pure blacks, and substatially darker that the black from other 2 setups. I dont know if it supposed to be that way or not. Picture was sharper too.

2. Direct TV was connected to my KRP via RCA cable. Blacks were not as black, and KRP showed picture quality to by 480i. Picture not as sharp as previous setup. Is this because I was using RCA cable? If I had HDMI 1.3 connection, would it be better? My DirectTV receiver does not have any HDMI so I have no way to check this.

3. Direct TV connected to my old JVC receiver via s-video. JVC in turn was connected to my KRP using component video. Blacks were the least black. Picture quality almost as in case 2.

So looks like vsx919 is doing a better job upscaling that my KRP? Or is this HDMI issue? Should I buy the vsx1019, and will it make my pictures better since it upscales all the way to 1080p??

Let me know.

Thanks

I'm sure there is 'lag' but not what I would call discernable. Since I bought my 500M my K/D ratio has only gotten better with the only game I play(CODWAW). I use that as an example because if there were 'lag' then it would more then likely be a negative influence on my K/D ratio.

I see absolutley no response/lag improvement by using game mode or standard. I use adjusted Pure or when available ISFccc Day and love it because its PERFECT

Seating locations relative to the screen must be carefully considered. SMPTE recommends ideal viewing angles for primary seating to be within +/-15 degrees of the centerline of the screen on the vertical or horizontal axis. Professional cinema screening rooms sometimes incorporate a vertical viewing angle that places the center of the screen 12 degrees below horizon for maximum viewing comfort.

This wouldn't be a problem except in Canada TVs cost a ridiculous amount of money(the 600m is $6000). So I want to import a 500m from the states. What's the best place to buy this from? Also where is it manufactured?
