So guys I've been thinking for us owners of RPTV's that do have the ability to scale above 480p(for example my hitachi does 540p and 1080i) will the new players be better than our internal ones that we already have. Personally on movies i can't see a difference between the 540p and 1080i settings for dvds on my set. If that cause the internal scalers suck or because it can only help so much, and if not should we go out and grab a new dvd player with the upscaling ability like the new samsung?

Have you looked at the 200TVL resolution screen on AVIA? You will see the difference.

I'll check the 200tvl screen out. When watching dvds what do most of you use 540p or 1080i? Also what are your thoughts on the new players? Beneficial to us RPTV owners or more for people with projectors?

540P. 1080 i has more artifacts because it is interlaced.

I use 540p. 1080i reduces aliasing, but is less stable during action scenes. When using the 200TVL screen while in 1080i, you will notice the upper/lower fans and center circle look wavey. This is caused by the interlacing.

I prefer 540p too

ok 540p it is...so now what are your opinions about the new crop of upconverting dvd players with our rptv's that alrdy scale?

Kinda cool


DVI outputs 1080i right to the screen.


Gets rid of all the upconversion problems in sets that have some assuming it's done right in the player.


Upconversion and scaleing technology will continue to improve.....
