There is no such thing as "Full HD". There is 480i (typcial NTSC), 720p(or i), 1080i, 1080p. The best consumer displays now support 1080p. I haven't heard of a diaply that downconverts the video and then upconverts it - can you give an example or pointers to more info on this? It's disturbing, unless it has to do with HDCP. In that case the downconversion happens at the HDCP source, and the upconversion happens on the monitor to display at its native resolution... -Adam -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Moving in southeast Michigan?
