Hi all, Maybe I'm not reading this right (or something is buried in doublespeak) but it looks like the VT1625 on the Commell LV-667T doesn't actually take HDTV resolutions as input.
According to the Via site http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/video-display/tv/vt1625/ the chip uses their ProScale achieve 720p and 1080i output. "This enables scaling of an image from 0.5 to 1.5 factors in the horizontal and vertical directions allowing input resolutions from 640x480 – 1024x768 to outputted up to the latest 1080i or 720p standard HDTV resolutions." So, to show a video broadcast as 720p it would have to be scaled TWICE to be output at 720p. Once on the way from 1280x720 into the chip (probably at .8 so that a resolution of 1024x576 could be kept) and be under 1024x768 for the encoding chip to work with then again ( at 1.25 ) on the way out to the display. Am I missing something here? I'm not opposed to scaling down HD to display in SD, but I have often seen artifacts on anything that has been scaled up in realtime. Am I making a mountain out of a marketing language molehill, or should the artifacts be minimal? Thanks, Eric PS. Thanks to the devs for all their hard work :)
