In Reply to: Re: Component to S-video while retaining progressive? posted by monk on January 09, 2004 at 14:38:01:
Ya, up until last year, I didn't know my set was lacking component inputs too; I just assumed it had them when I bought my dvd player. The TV does no upconverting but claims to do 1080i max res (I believe it's 8" CRTs) Still, doesn't help me out now, does it :-P Oh well.
Follow Ups:
I'm not up on this, but doesn't it seem odd that Toshiba would make the TV capable of 1080i and then not provide a means to input such a signal?I was thinking about the new DVDO HD video processor that Joe Murphy mentions just above,...it could take the interlaced 480 (or 480P) and do all kind of video wonders with it,...but it seems there's no way to get the signal into the TV?
I wonder what the limits of S-Video connection? It can't handle progressive, but maybe it can do better than 480i? If this is the case then the video processor might help (if it can output an interlaced signal higher than 480i).
But the solution is as expensive as the cure, at around $1,500 for the latest DVDO Hi-Definition model (can buy a nice projector for that).
Also,...please don't stop searching for a solution based just on what I know,...I don't think you have a good option, but there might be some solution - just seems there must be some way to get the higher level signal into the TV.
I don't have much of a magazine collection, but I have a few older SGHT etc. and there might be a review detailing the thinking behind your TV's design. Do you know the model number?
