I think there may be some processing engine (like Pixel Plus on Philips TVs) that can do wonders with the low-rez Astro signal.

QUOTE(amduser @ Aug 25 2009, 07:44 AM) you mean the motion plus from samsung and motion flow from sony? possibly. don't know how good their engines are compared to PP though. I don't use a Philips now, but I miss it.QUOTE(toffeeman @ Aug 25 2009, 08:50 AM) QUOTE(neb @ Aug 24 2009, 11:34 PM) modern avr can convert video from analog to digital, then upscale to 1080p Thanx, how to do that? QUOTE(chewkl @ Aug 26 2009, 09:08 AM) Interpolates = scaling. well, isn't that what this topic is about? but then there's a reason why some standalone scalers cost thousands of $ and some are in TVs that cost a fraction f the standalone scaler This post has been edited by SiriuslyCold: Aug 25 2009, 10:34 AM |

QUOTE(wackojacko @ Aug 25 2009, 11:17 AM) how do u turn on the pixel plus on a phillips tv??? I have one but I have not seen the setting anywhere on my tv menu....is it on by default?? from what I can remember of my old Philips TV you'd have to switch it off f you didn't want it (i.e its on by default)that is, if your TV has PP in the first place |

QUOTE(amduser @ Aug 25 2009, 11:40 PM) well, i dont think it really give better picture quality, it only add more frames in between and make the motion smoother, that's all. don't think. this is something you can verify by having a look. |
