Upscaling isn't about finding detail that isn't there. You have a 4000x2000 display that you need to fill with 1920x1080 data. Upscaling it to do with HOW you fill those missing pixels - what algorithm you use - do you double the size of the pixel (things could turn blocky), do you keep the pixels the same size and fill in the gaps in between them with a colour that is a misture of the two "true pixels" (things could turn blurry).

The only question we should be concerned about is how does the up-scaled picture look.

But you are correct in your assumption that some people will think it's creating detail that isn't there.]]>Feb 19th 2010 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/mitsubishis-upconverting-technology-takes-1080p-to-4k-x-2k-you/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/mitsubishis-upconverting-technology-takes-1080p-to-4k-x-2k-you/

Well, as long as they use technobabble and numbers to drown the consumers...]]>Feb 19th 2010 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/mitsubishis-upconverting-technology-takes-1080p-to-4k-x-2k-you/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/mitsubishis-upconverting-technology-takes-1080p-to-4k-x-2k-you/Not to jump on your shit Ofife, seems like enough people have disagreed with you, but, the bigger the display, the higher (nearly exponentially) the resolution you need to maintain equivalent pixel-density. If they're going to create demand for Displays larger than 70", they really need to solve this problem. The media is created at a resolution for the average consumer, 1080, but typical "couch-to-TV-distances" will reveal shortcomings that will be evident at point of sale. Also, if computers are going to be used on these displays, in order to have tight looking text, you need high pixel density. If any of you actually see for yourself what a computer looks like on a 1920x1280 50" display.. or look from 9' at a 70" display running only 1080p, you'll see the problem their working on solving. ]]>Feb 19th 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/mitsubishis-upconverting-technology-takes-1080p-to-4k-x-2k-you/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/mitsubishis-upconverting-technology-takes-1080p-to-4k-x-2k-you/
But aren't you creating a false detail? You mention "Upscaling it to do with HOW you fill those missing pixels - what algorithm you use - do you double the size of the pixel (things could turn blocky), do you keep the pixels the same size and fill in the gaps in between them with a colour that is a misture of the two "true pixels" (things could turn blurry)."

Whatever extrapolated value the pixel has wasn't there from the original smaller picture. So by definition this is a false detail. Right?

I don't follow your reasoning.

Errm... was that supposed to be sarcasm or genuine ignorance? Assuming the latter, Mitsubishi is Mitsubishi Corporation - an industrial giant, like GE. Like Toshiba Corp. H U G E. They do so many things, you wonder how.

In short, I'm not too excited for this advancement.

I call BS on those scientific studies. I used to think that 720p was enough on my humble 40" LCD, but I had never bothered to actually see the pixels (I had seen pixelation in games and grainy blockiness in HD channels, but I dismissed them as AA errors and low bandwidth respectively). Not too long ago, I actually loaded an all-black image with one white pixel through the VGA connection at the panel's native resolution, and man, those pixels are HUGE, I can see their square shape from 3 meters away. They're responsible for pretty much every artifact I've seen on that TV!

So yes, we need higher resolutions. Perhaps we do need better dynamic ranges and higher color depths before resolution, but we still need more resolution.]]>Feb 19th 2010 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/mitsubishis-upconverting-technology-takes-1080p-to-4k-x-2k-you/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/mitsubishis-upconverting-technology-takes-1080p-to-4k-x-2k-you/Feb 19th 2010 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/mitsubishis-upconverting-technology-takes-1080p-to-4k-x-2k-you/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/mitsubishis-upconverting-technology-takes-1080p-to-4k-x-2k-you/
