Does anyone out there know of a scaler that will take 1080i and apply inverse 3:2 pulldown and output 1080p?
Background: I'm considering getting the Sharp 45" LCD, and a scaler, but I want something that will "do the right thing" with 1080i signals -- seems like the iScan HD+ and its "bob" mode is just going to result in significant loss of vertical resolution when my HDMI source will be 1080i. Of course, I could have the source output 720p, then let the Sharp or the iScan scale to 1080, but that would also be a conversion of 1080i (HD content) -> 720p (TiVo output) -> 1080p (Display), which seems silly and will also lose resolution.
Any suggestions?
