I have a DVD and a cable box both have component outputs into my Lexicon MC8B, If I buy the HD Leeza will:
1) The input to the Leeza be the output of the Lex or do I go from the sources directly into the leeza..
2) Will my Mitsub 55" dimond vision rear projector look crisper and more vibrant
3) Will the picture always fill 100% of the screen with no side bars etc..
If the answere to #2 and #3 is no then why would I want one..

Scalers are usually used for fixed pixel projectors, where the scaler scales the image to the panel's native resolution, so that all it does is display what is fed to it.CRT does not need exact pixel matching, so what is frequently used is a doubler or quadrupler. This eliminates the possibility of scaling artifact, which could occur when you are not scaling in exact ratios.
Plus some of it does various noice reduction, color correction, and video/film de-interlacing.
Rear projection are often limited in quality, so sometimes don't benefit from such an expensive unit as compared to its internal ones.
in the link below, especially the Lumagen and DVDO threads.Unfortunately, your display may be the limiting factor as it may not be able to take advantage of the numerous benefits that video processors offer.
Why do you say my display is the limiting factor? If it sucks be honest but help me understand why :)
And just so you'll know, the last person that asked me about my recommendation for a rear projection display (after they gave me their three choices) was directed to Mitsubishi. This, despite the fact that Mitsubishi touts Scan Velocity Modulation as a "feature" of their CRT displays instead of the detriment to picture quality that it is.However, the displays that are generally used with video processors are less limited by the signals that they can be fed. The majority of rear projection displays are set up to accept 480i/p and 1080i. They are incapable of handling the 720p format (or the 1:1 pixel material that video processors can provide) like digital displays. A video processor may help with the image that your display produces, but it can't overcome input restrictions.
I would suggest that you read the two threads that I mentioned to find out what a video processor can do and compare that to what your display is capable of handling.
