I would like to know if there is any difference between a 720p source upscale to 1080p vs native 1080p.
Assume playing with FHD TV and amp have video upscale capability.
Any lossless for audio and video quality?

of cos can see the difference..

even realtek vs sigma media player also can see difference..

depends on the size of the tv and how close you sit.

most won't notice a difference but will tell you they can.

audio is the same

Actually, ppl. always think of 480, 720, 1080 etc...but in actual got many things that effect quality of the image like Bitrates and Reframes and of course the hardware itself
Sometimes, even 720p can give a better picture than a grainy 1080p version... even between 1080p and another 1080p release version there will be difference.
Take for example TF2...got so many 1080p releases...from 11Gb to 45Gb..

The difference in image quality differs individually. Some ppl want the best..hence go for BDisc..and some are just movie lovers who think 720p is more than enough.

agree with you on this
the decoding method used plays important role imho

If have big screen and near viewing distance will surely spot the difference.

In theory,
FHD tv (1920x1080) = 1:1 mapping to native 1080p source.
