I have the exact same unit and I love it. I'm currently using a Quadscan Elite HD (output 720p)to handle all my line doubling and progressive scanning. It is actually a 34" flat widescreen HDTV (best toshiba true flat picture tube not released in the US). It's a little pinnicky to set up but once you get it calibrated and set up properly you'll be amazed. I'll take this TV over a Sony Wega XBR800 anyday.
Line doubler and HDTV
I am about to receive a relatively old HDTV, a Sampo 34whd5.
This is a 36" tube that supports all of the modes, 720p etc,
but it does not have a built-in line doubler and is VERY
slow to switch between inputs.
I was thinking about this a bit and it seems to me that the
best place to have a line doubler would be to build it into
the receiver or preamp, and then I would only have to use
one component input on the TV for the DVD, satellite, HDTV
tuner & HDTV dish, etc.
Is this a common feature yet? I tried to do some searches
but couldn't find any receivers that seemed to handle this.
Thanks,
Mark
