DVD Upconverting to HD?
Question: I have a 50 rare projection LCD, it can upscale the picture to fill the screen. Is this different from upconverting to High definition? Is the upconverted picture better than the updcaled? Is my TV upscaling or upconverting the pictures?
One other thing, which is better HDMI ior component interface?
Answers: HDMI is better than component.
As for upconversion, this is a process to add scan lines and other schemes to improve picture quality, but from a standard DVD it will never be true HD.
Scaling changes the picture geometry. DVDs will still have some letterboxing, even on a wide screen tv. scaling the picture so that it fills the screen can reduce image quality somewhat.
Upscale, upconvert, it's all taking a 480i source like DVD and interpolating to 720p or 1080i/p. It guesses at the missing pixels. The DVD player is unlikely to do any better job than your tv does. I also have a RP-LCD, and it does a fine job upscaling DVDs. Still, they are not HD quality, though they are very very good if the DVD master is good. Only BD and HD-DVDs are true HD DVDs.
In general HDMI and/or DVI is a better connection, because many sets keep the signal all digital. However, plenty of sets, like Sony and Mitsubishi, convert incoming HDMI/DVI to analog for processing, so all the people who tell you that an upscaling DVD player will look better because they keep the signal all digital are right only part of the time. Most people don't see much diff betewen HDMI/DVI and component.
