XBOX360 vs Playstation 3

depends on a lot of things. If the original resolution for exmple is too small than upscaling it too big will make it uglier. Adding nonexistant information is not always better.

For me it makes the edging smoother. Blends a lot better, I don't like sharp tv..:p

hm... my husband said this:

"No – you cannot upconvert something that is recorded in a certain quality. DVDs are 480p- no more than that, no matter what you play them on unless you put a high resolution movie on a DVD disk that is a data disk- DVD movies are always going to be 480p no matter what though. To watch HD movies you must either download them in HD or get a bluray movie- blurays are either 720p or 1080."

He then proceeded with this response:

"It may 'upconvert' to be 1080p but there will be no quality difference because it was rendered in 480. I mean how are you supposed to upconvert something that is low quality? You can upconvert a vector based engine like a 3d game or something but you cannot upconvert something that is not rendered in a high resolution to begin with. If it was "upconverted" it would look the same- the only difference would be that perhaps the PS3 or 360 has a technology that smooths out the images to be less
nasty- kind of like turning on smoothing for an old sega or SNES game on a emulator- it smooths the pixels to be smooth instead of square and blocky but doesn't change the fact it is still the resolution it was made at."

:D

No offense, but if you use a VGA or HDMI hookup it in fact does up convert. It may not be true 720 or 1080, simply "filling" in pixels. It gives it a smoother picture, not true HD, but better than standard 360 or 420 viewing. :D
