Alan's prices on the SX21 is certain to tip over some fence sitters. Very good offer so I was considering it, maybe they are dumping inventory for the next big thing or maybe they know CEDIA was a bust for the 5-10k group so they figure they can hook some of us with the price. Either way it works for me.
Questions:
I need the panamorph 'cause I really need all the light from the panel, but can I tell the internal scaler to generate an image that will look 4:3 through the panamorph for 4:3 material? Do I need to use my HTPC to do this? I know I will lose some of the light, but I would rather have the light for the HD and DVD material. I don't want an external scaler other than the HTPC, and I would rather not have that if I didn't need it. Does it have DCDi de-interlacing?
I guess with the resolution the converse would be to go without the lens, have 4:3 be brightest for daytime viewing and use letterbox at night with less lumens for HD and movie viewing. It would be to use all of that panel though for 1080i HD.
Any suggestions?
