Interesting point to note - both 2 amd 3 produce the true CIH experince as the film I am watching is 2.35:1 and I have small black pillar bars at the ends on the 2.37:1 screen. The common approach to scaling for CIH usually involves using LB (1), but this method does actually clip a small portion off the top and bottom of the image, so allowing complete filling the screen's width. |
I have my player set to Wide (16:9) and the projector set to 16:9..
This gives me a full width image with about an 1" of overscan at the sides, and the centre of the pincushion, top and bottom, perfectly level with the borders..
On my Benq, if I press REAL it reverts to 4:3...Why, I have no idea..

Speaking of scaling, I think this might work better if the player converted the SD to 540 first, then upscaled that to 1080, but this player seems to convert everything to 480 first.

Aah!!..I think that's because its a US unit..Mine converts to 576 if I don't set it manually for 720p.

I would like to see how players like OPPO go as they are often said to to be the better upscalers on the market.

Oppo states that their new player has seperate conversions for NTSC and PAL ..
