It likely does as the scaling chips in the FPD are specific to that
set's array size, so the scaling done points into that fixed set. The
chip in the DVD player scales from one (480) to another (720 or 1080)
more precisely. The FPD scales to it array size, which may not be
1080i at the native level (likely not for older or smaller sets).
