  I know there are scalers and upconverters around but the TV does a damn good job upscaling standard definition inputs. I really can't see it as cost effective to add another box to my mix.

  I was merely commenting on the issue of letting a source device do the upscaling vs the display doing it, and the associated problem of whether or not letting the source upscale will result in 2 upscale operations with the second one being required at the display end.

  To summarise, I was saying that I think it's always better to run with only one upscaling process rather than letting the source and the display do some upscaling each. When you have the option of the display doing it all, or the source doing it all, it simply boils down to which one does it better.

    awareness of watching out for "2 upscale operations".

    I'm trying to decide between a reasonably priced 720p plasma and a much more expensive 1080p plasma or LCD. I didn't really think about the fact that the plasma will be scaling everything, even native 720p HD input, because its a 1366x768 display. If I use an upconverting DVD player (e.g., Oppo 971) to upconvert DVDs, I'll end up with 2 scaling operations. Not good, as you pointed out.

    Im not sure what kinda of scaling my tv does. its an older model Samsung tsl2795hf crt hdtv. It upsamples all SD to 480p and will display 1080i. I dont have the model or any specs for this tv so i really dont know much about it. i got it for free from my brother when he got a new LCD tv. I cant seem to find much about it onnline either. Anyone know anything about this model???
