Re: side by side

just to add...the differences between the scalers (if any) will be very small. Today's plasma units offer very good internal scaling. I have tried the DVDO and Focus Enhancements products on my display and saw very little difference. The NEC was superior to the DVDO, while the Focus Enhancement was slightly superior with the 852 x 480 format. The enhancements were so small that I put the scaler up for sale and now use the NEC as the main unit.

The trick to a great plasma image is clean ac. Filtered ac can do wonders for a plasma video image. Of late I have been involved with a OEM project for a scalable dvd player. I was very impressed with the 1080i output into the NEC. The big selling point for me was the sharper image and color saturation. A couple of days ago I just put the finishing touches on a new power conditioner design I have been working on for 120-240v applications. Prior to the power conditioner the OEM player surpassed a EAD TheaterVision dvd player I have in house that uses DVDO progressive outputs. After I added the power conditioner the EAD was the equal to the OEM model. The image was sharper, more dimensional, and had improved color saturation. My point is there are lots of ways to improve the image besides scaling.
