1080p displays are so dense that (at normal viewing distances ;-) ) it doesn't look too bad if you just scale and offset 540p for your 1080i. The upconversion to 1080p@60 doesn't have much to do with interlace as far as the frame rate change. It's usually more a way of dealing with Hollywood's 24p movies. Until they really get the motion compensated conversion right, IMHO, they should just support display at 24 FPS on fixed pixel (non-blinking) displays and call it good. It would look more "film like". - Tom Tom McMahon wrote: > It's amazing how many technology demos I saw at CES 2005 that were trying to > rectify the problems with interlace on > inherently-progressive displays (and also upconversion to 1080/60P) by trying > to make it work at consumer price points at the > receiver/display end.
