Dreamer, I've read your post three times and can't follow. What's a "ripoff"? Upscaling certainly doesn't take resolution to "pure HD quality". Assuming that your display has a 1080 native resolution everything will have to be displayed at 1080p, regardless of what it started at, by way of upscaling and/or deinterlacing in a player, the receiver or in the display itself if a previous device hasn't done it. What does "effectively eliminates video" mean?
This was description of receiver from Amazon
First of all it is not a ripoff from anyone from this forum. 2nd.) The best res. I could have would be 1080i. TV and receiver. 3rd) Was under the impression that any input regardless of resolution would result in 1080i out thru HDMI. Now maybe I don't fully understand, about upscaling and deiterlacing, but I thought that with 1080i output I would have a full screen like I get with my cable. There is just so much more in my mind to say I feel like I could or would be writing a book.
