Anyway thats what ive also heard about the chips in the pjs and was reading how the W500 actually did a very good job......i cant tell much or dont really know how to test it but i do have the Tosh A3 that upconverts but comparing that to a dish movie channel or something is not really a comparison. How would you even test that? Ive already asked on another post which device does the better upconversion but got no answer. From all the reviews ive seen guys have done tests with their standard dvd players and let the W500 upconvert and they said there was no diff when they let the other hd dvd player upconvert......
So what is the real story there?
What about a satellite signal? You have to let the PJ do the upconvert right? Or is there any other way? |
First, a satelite or cable signal will not be 'upconverted' per se. The projector will process the image but it will not add extra information into the signal. In short, you are projecting the image directly from the source...if the source is good, the image is good. If the service provider compresses the signal (they all do), the image will suffer.
Second, with the A3, you would set the DVD player to output either a 1080i or 720p signal to the projector. At 720p, the DVD player would do all of the upconversion. At 1080i, the DVD player would upconvert the image and the projector would take that image and convert it into 720p. Play around and see which version you prefer.
