Sankar,
Thanks for responding. Between your post and the one's from Alan/Allan, this will be my next purchase. One last question though. In looking at the specs on SI's website, the iScanPro has component in/out. My dvd runs straight to the tv via component already. I am after the iScan for my...
Alan,
I agree, we are getting off topic for this category.Bummer, b/c your advice and links are both helpful and very enlightening for a newbie. Hmph, they're also somewhat depressing. I really thought I bought a decent tv, and now feel like it has these things that need to be fixed. This...
Alan,
Funny you should mention that. I was on isf's website this AM looking for local calibrators. Looked as Spot's Mitsu amd tweaks threads. Didn't even have a clue there's that much to do to oen of these things. Hell, I don't even know what red push is. Anyways, I know cars inside and out...
Alan,
I think with your advice, I'll do the pro. Do you know if onecall has a 30day return policy (or something similar?)
Any other tips on a better picture in addition to iScan??
Thanks,
MM
The cloud in my brain is clearing.
Got it: the conversion to 480p is automatic (since the incoming signal is s-video. That clears that up and leaves only the question as to which deinterlacer is better-internal or iScan.
Next: 480p or 960i-same thing or is one more preferrable?
Next: I...
Alan,
Thanks to you to. That you saw a noticeable improvement in picture quality with your Mitsu is encouraging. I took a quick peak over at HT Spot. Read one thread talking about 480i/480p and settings on my set. I may not have my set adjusted/switched to 480p. (if there is such a setting in...
Allan,
Sounds like all "hdtv ready" tv's have an internal deinterlacer, just no decoder/tuner for hdtv broadcast. That's were a hd STB comes in w/ satellite. Assuming my tv has an interlacer, the SI unit may not help much.
Question: the OSD on the Mitsu shows s-video,STB,480i on the screen...
Allan,
Thanks again. I think I'm getting it now. My intent is to get a good progressive scan dvd once there's one out that has what I want and no chroma bug. That unit will not get run through the iScan. What I am after is an improvement in my cable tv signal for daily tv viewing. I reread my...
Allan,
Thanks for replying. I was really hoping to find someone with one of these. Shankar (sp?), I know is another who has one. Anyways, Help me. If I understand this right, the SI unit will deinterlace everything sent to it (aka my digital cable box signal) and effectively double my...
Came across this product surfing the web. Best as I can tell it deinterlaces everything one sends to it (cable,vhs,non progressive scan dvd,etc..)Is that really what this does? Seems it may be an alternative to a HDTV satellite system as it would deinterlace all cable channels. Would that give...
