Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a PW5 sometime in the near future, but I'm still in the research stage. I have a few questions for anyone here with a PW5 that pick up a PAL signal.
I have read one or two posts elsewhere which indicated that there is a great loss in quality when downscaling from 576p to the TV's 480p capability. I understand that 100 lines will go missing as a result, which I can deal with, but does it really affect the overall picture quality that bad?
I plan to use the TV to view SD broadcasts (576i) and play back both NTSC and PAL DVD's (hopefully both in progressive mode). I am concerned now that all the great things I've read about this TV will mean nothing when run under a PAL signal due to this downscaling issue.
Anyone's opinion on the matter is most appreciated.
