I have an HD-Leeza from a couple of years ago feeding an Electrohome 9500LC. Does an excellent job. I'm considering moving to a Sony Ruby or Pearl or some other 1080 projector and would appreciate advice as to using the Leeza in that situation.

Sources are DirecTV and Comcast SD and HD, a 480i DVD player (Kenwood), a Toshiba HD-DVD player, and probably I will buy a PS3 as my Blu-Ray player when released. I also have a D-Theater player and an SACD player which may or may not fit in the rack. My AV-Receiver is a Denon 4802, a couple of years old, which has no HDMI and therefore may need to be replaced.

Do you think the HD-Leeza is a good choice for this situation? If so, how would you hook things up? The Leeza has no HDMI connectors but I've heard that with a special cable for its DVI-D connector it's compatible with HDMI. I see that the Pearl has 2 HDMI inputs and a component input. Thanks.

I ran my HDLEEZA into a JVC projector via DVI and a Samsung LCD via a DVI -> HDMI cable. Worked fine for me.

I also ran it at 1080P into the projector for a while, but then down rezzed to the native projector rate 1488x780 ? or something like that. Both work fine but I thought the native projector rate looked a little clearer.

If your looking to spend money then the HDLeeza is getting a little long in the tooth and I think my VantageHD does a much better job on SD sources, on HD I don't see a lot of difference. I project onto a 110" screen.

I now use the HDLeeza to the LCD and the Vantage to the projector.

Kudos to KDS, i use the Leeza and noted an improvement in SD upconversion, at least on my 720p LCD PJ. 1080i feeds also get very nice downconversion to 720p.

Overall i am very satisfied. Knowing it can do reverse telecine for 1080i to 1080p, why would one need anything else.

I got mine used BTW.

There's a lot of video out there in HD. I use an HDL also, but being able to do extremely high quality deinterlacing on video content is definitely one of the 'elses' that would be nice to have.
