Composite on 'full-HD' or 'true-HD' televisions also scale down- then up,
even though the input signal is actual HD. Oh, did I mention that I hate the
typical mr-salesman that can't get his facts straight? I mean; who in hell
mistakes 1024*786 for being a HD-resolution when your speciality is selling
HD-televisions?
