Of course this does beg the question about how 1080p is "beyond HD" when all the player is doing is converting from 1080p on disc to 1080i (cos the Broadcom chip they use can only output 1080i) then through a scalar to 1080p. Quite how this is better than outputing 1080i into my 1080p TV which will use it's scalar (which is almost certainly better than the one on board the BD player) to deinterlace to 1080p. Sigh.
Also the scalar doesn't account for all the motion artifacts that ae very very apparent on the movies released so far. It couldn't be because they're encoded with MPEG2 and are space constrained on a 25GB single layer BD disc could it?
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
