@yem STFU, you suck. learn what the hell you're talking about before making us have to read your stupid comments. Upscaling is a process that digitally upconverts the signal into a higher signal offering better quality. Just because the tv displays the signal in full screen dosen't make it a 1080i/p signal.
"a process that digitally upconverts the signal into a higher signal" riiiiight..
If you've got a 640x480 source and a TV with 19201080 pixels, it's either scaled in the player, or scaled in the machine. I fail to see what the difference is. In fact, the TV is probably going to do a better job since it is aware of the unique characteristics of the display.
Kindly point me to some serious info. I really want to know why it's better for the player to upscale a DVD to 1080 than to have the display do it.
lol - Chris you are so wrong. Yems is 100% correct in what he said. It doesn't matter whether the image is upscaled at the source machine (the PS3) or the display machine (the tv) it has to be upscaled at some point (or even down-scaled.) The important point is which machine has the better scaler. If a tv has a native resolution of 1080i then everything it displays has to be scaled (whether up or down) to that resolution. That's what makes the difference between good and bad plasmas - how they cope with input that isn't in their native resolution.
I saw the TV Commercial for the new "Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction" PS3 game. I liked the background music in the commercial, and was wondering if anyone can help me find out the name of the band or song [or both] of who performed that music.
