holdfast Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm thinking about expanding my home stereo by buying an up conversion DVD but I'm confused on a few things. I have an HD TV but the one HDMI hook up id being used between Satellite and TV. I was thing of hooking via component as far as video. Question is, will it up convert IE 1080 or is it only possible with the HDMI outlet. My questions are Does up conversion really make a difference as far as picture compared to standard DVD Will it up convert via component I was looking at either Toshiba, Phillips, Samsung, and even RCA all from Wallymart, any recommendations And what exactly is Progressive scan Remember I barely passed grade 8 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitsmith2k Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 i dont know a hell of a lot about this stuff but here's what i do know depends on your tv.. i know that i can get 1080p through component cables on my Aquos.. some tv's will do the upconvert for ya... progressive and interlaced are both scanned side to side top to bottom, but on the interlaced (i think) every 60th of a second every other line is scanned.. and it alternates every 60th of a second.. i'm sure someone can give a more detailed explaination, that just how i understood it works.. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
