64.12.116.71
Have been using 72 inch, antique Advent 750, for over 25 years. Still has excellent picture. It is so old it only has two inputs, a standard 75 ohm RF, and a Composite Video. Would the addition of an External Scaler such as a DVDO, get me any better picture?
Follow Ups:
the Advent in question was essentially a Kloss Novabeam. Unless this model was modified to accept computer inputs (VGA - 15 pin . . .a few were) in fact, even if it has been modified a scaler has the approximate utility of attempting to urinate into the teeth of a 90 mph Gale. You may be relieved that you got something done, but you will be distinctly unhappy with the results.
Pardon.....my subject should have stated Front Projection TV.
If the only inputs is has are RF and composite, it may only be an interlaced projector. Even if the projector accepted progressive signals, the best that composite will get you is 480p.So while 480p (if it will even accept 480p) is better than 480i, your projector is probably too old to really be worth the benefits of a scaler.
Of course it can't accept 480p because composite doesn't accept progessive signals. Guess I had component on the brain.And to make matters worse, you can't use a scaler for that projector. Since 480i is the highest resolution it will accept, no scaler will output a signal that low. That's why there are no S-video or composite "outputs" on a scaler -- only inputs.
Damn. Sometimes I wish I did drugs because at least I would have something to blame this shit on...
