Re: Outboard Processors (scalers/deinterlacers,etc.) ** From My Perspective **

just another thought: For half of this ($4000) you get the Mitsubishi HC5000 which offers also 1080p/24 input and has HQV processing built in. I am eagerly awaiting the first real reviews. IF the HQV processing does its job as expected, you will probably not need an outboard processor since the internal processing should be superb.
Will whatever processing built in be as good as having an outboard processor? I would think that the internal unit wouldn't be as good to what's been built into an outside unit with its main function being video processing.
