[QUOTE=Rich-n-Texas]Well, you guys can argue the merits of 1080p vs. 720p all you want, but I'll tell ya what, I played my newly purchased copy of "Iron Man" last night... :yikes: , and I'm floored that my sub made it all the way through the movie. The opening scene scared the sh!t outta me (dropped some of my dinner on the carpet), PQ was...obviously... like nothing I've seen before, and I was even able to crawl out from behind the couch frequently enough to get a grip on the movie's content. I thought the world was coming to an end!

If you change it to 480i you will have more options.:1:
You should play around with it. Try letting your source do the upscalling, and then try letting your display have a crack at it. It's the only way to be sure of which one does a better job for your eyes. I've found that my projector does a better job of it than my DVR. But the PS3 does a better job of it than the projector. Time for some experimenting me thinks.

Can someone tell me what pix is trying to say with that butt smiley? :confused:

By the way, somewhere in a thread I stated that BD Live was a Disney thing. It's not. It's a Blue-ray Disk Association thing. I saw a TV commercial about Snow White on BD which included mention of BD Live and some of it's features, so I mistakenly assiociated it with Disney.
That is all.

My guess? That he's ready for you.

I'm sure there's a long line ahead of me. Besides GM, you know how much I hate sloppy seconds. :nonod:

Second? I'm thinking triple digits by now. He's what, 105?

Maybe that's why he bent over.

Truthfully GM, I'm not sure if that's a male or a female butt, so we probably shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Your thoughts?

Are you thinking that he's a gal?

It's not that, I have the options to stretch, but visually it just ain't pleasing to the eye. You blow up a poor signal too big and it just becomes unwatchable. We're only talking PBS and some bad local stations though, most are fine.

MY STB is a terrible upscaler, I let the projector do that. Waaaay better. Same with my TV.

And the picture is already big enough. When we first went to wide screen (on a 32" TV) the bars on the sides used to bother me. I paid for a bigger picture and they were not using it all. Pissed me off to no end. Now at 100+", it's big enough. Why stretch an already sub-par picture and make it worse? In fact, I wouldn't mind if those were coming in around 80" instead. I've seen that some HD channels already do this when the original was in std def. Bars on both sides, plus top & bottom. Makes the picture a little more watch-able.

It also has to do with options.
My Vizio for instance wont do panoramic for progressive sources.
If you wanna do this option you need a 480i input.:1:
