I have a Sony KDS60A2000 who's native resolution is 1080p. I currently have my HR20 Native setting OFF (can't stand the delayed, "violent" channel changes) and have it set at 1080i. My question is, would I be better off to set the HR20 at 480p and use my TV's scaler to upconvert to the HD resolution? I am looking to get the best picture possible with the least amount of conversion steps in the process. I appreciate any and all opinions. Thanks!
I hope this doesn't turn into another multi-day debate since it is all to the eye of the beholder.
I have a Sony FP 1080P, that you can "throw anything at" and end up with a good picture. The HR-20 does a good job.
I'm playing with native on, right now, with 480i, 720P, & 1080i set. I hate the lag, the guide looks poor when tuned to a SD channel.
Watching CNN this morning, the SD picture looks a little sharper with this setting. Is it the TV or "how I feel" today? It's anybody's guess. This is such a subjective "thing" that I don't think there ever will be "the right" answer. It may be psychological more than technical.
So I would say if you could see a difference between the HR-20 & your TV in picture quality, HD channels would have the least & SD might show the most.
Your mileage Will vary.
