I posted this topic in the HDTV thread several days back but didn't get much involvement and was advised that this forum may be a better place for it. I recently got my Comcast Motorola 6200 HDTV set top box installed. I have an SVGA NEC LT85 DLP projector and a Da-Lite Hi-Power 16:9 80x45" screen. I was happy to see that simply unplugging my component cable from my progressive scan DVD player and plugging it into the 6200 worked right off the bat.
Still, the Motorola allows me to set various preferences for outputting the video (1080i, 720P, 480P)? My projector can do the anamorphic squeeze thing, but as I said, it's only SVGA. So, I'm wondering if I would get any benefit from maxxing it out at 1080i or if I might actually get better results going all the way down to 480P. I'm guessing that the answer depends on which device (the STB or the projector) does a better job of rescaling.
Thoughts?
