By "double conversion" do you mean firstly conversion to 1080p and
seconldly scaling that to 1280x720?
Apparently some projectors such as the SHARP XV-Z2000 only use the odd
540 fields and scale that to 1280x720.There is an interesting article
"Are you getting all the HDTV Resolution....." at
www.hometheatermag.com (click onto reviews) Apparently of 54 HD
displays including well known brands, 26 were discarding half the 1080
fields and upscaling the remaining 540 fieds to the dfisplay's native
resolution.Do you know how the TX-200 converts the 1080i input?
