Watched the 'Burn-E' short for a 1080 comparison and wuz *blown away* -
vast improvement on the 720 PJ (no downscaling)* but not possible to
photograph the screen and get a decent picture yet as stills don't freeze
razor sharp on the Samsing player we're using

Stills aren't "razor sharp" regardless of which player you are using. Don't
forget that even "full" 1080p HD is only equivalent to a 2megapixel still
image (and would you blow one of them up to 6' wide?)



* These digiclowns that think signals aren't bashed about by processing
should have a look at the damage that can be done by upscaling and
downscaling *video*....

Depends what you mean by "processing", there are processes and processes.
It's not that many years ago the TV standards conversion (which is what up
and downscaling is) could only be done by bits of pro-video kit that cost
megabucks, it still amazes me that you can get a standards converter for
"free" inside a cheap domestic BD player at all, you can't expect it to be
done well at the price. Audio sample rate conversion is a doddle by
comparison.

But if you are basing your comments by comparing one projector with another
may I suggest that that might have just a little to do with the difference?
