Newbie question-Is scaler best way to achieve PQ?

467 Views 3 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  dougmcbride
So as a newbie my question is probably a simple one. I just got a HDTV so is it in my best interest to get an upconverting processor to get the best PQ out of dvd's, sd tv, etc.


I didn't want to purchase all new equipment so this seems to be the most economical approach.


Thanks.

It's actually fairly complicated and sometimes completely subjective. Tell us what your display is, what your components are and what kind of viewing you like to do (i.e. 80% DVD, 20% SD D*) and we can give you some suggestions and user experiences.
A good place to start with questions like this is the sticky thread at the top of the forum:

It's always good to insure you have calibrated your display before looking for external PQ help. Too many folks blame or are disappointed with external components when in fact, it is their display causing the problem.
