Devices into an amp into a TV.....straight or upscale?
Discussion
Not sure i have this right in my head! My ps3, xbox and sky hd go into my amp. They all have various levels of video they send from SD to HD on the Sky and SD bitorrents to Blue Ray on the PS3.....so do i just set the amp to pass the signal straight through to the TV (panny G10) or should i set it to something particualr (i assume, if the later i set it to 1080p?)
Unless you are using relatively high end electronics ito 'front end' (i.e. top end Blu-ray player) and/or an expensive AV amp/receiver then most higher end sets' internal scalers are at least as good as those in supporting ancillaries so the normal advice is set the disc source to an 'auto' setting so as to output via HDMI the native resolution and let the set do the rest.
The TV will rescale (where necessary) everything.
For example, I still utilise an early Sony DVD player as one source which interfaces via a 10m scart lead: it's a technical recipe for nothing remotely spectacular and yet, even 480i from (fundamentally well produced) NTSC import discs resolves to a subjectively impressive standard.
It's all in the panel.
