Such a thing as DOWN-Convert?

[MoPe]

HDTV's, are that. HD commonly known as "HIGH-DEFINITION". They are NOT recommended for SD viewing. If you watch a lot of SD, either deal with it, or purchase an EDTV.

There is really NO reason to not have HD programming on an HDTV. If you can afford the TV, you should be able to afford the slight difference between SD and HD programming. But that's not up to me. It's your expense.

BR is either 1080i/p. SD is 480i/p and HD is 720p/1080i. Why BR looks so good is because it is a higher resolution source. Even 720p/1080i HD programming has it's limits due to compression. Or - SD/HD = compressed & BR = uncompressed.

To answer your last question, it depends on how many lines of resolution it has, and if it will be able to produce an HD image.



What brand/make/model is it?

Lastly, I don't understand the thread title: "down-convert". What exactly are you "down-converting?"
