RE: My Oppo book says 1080p, and HDMI necessary to relay upconversion. nt

"I've got an LCD screen with 1366 x 768 resolution and find upscaling in players and receivers unneccesary. If I let the player or receiver upscale to 720p, the TV is going to rescale to 768 in order to display the picture so I end up with rescaling on an already rescaled image and that either looks no better or slightly worse than simply sending the standard def signal to the TV and relying on a single rescaling process."


It probably depends on the respective qualities of the display and the player, and with a budget upscaling player I can well imagine that a display's upscaler would give better results.

My own Denon however upscales to 720p and 1080i, and when I leave it to output DVd at it's native resolution so the Panasonic PX60 does the scaling the results aren't anywhere near as good as when the player does the upscaling.
