Sayang din yung matitipid kung 25K, got my scarlet sa Remal Sales kc for 28.5K - at least di me nahassle magpunta sa store, maghanap parking, makipagsisikan at magbuhat ( sour graping...

).
Anyway, tested my unit last weekend - here's some observation:
1. TV - connected it to an aerial antenna, reception and PQ was better than expected although mas malinaw pa rin yung PQ sa Sony WEGA na 21".
2. Connected it sa Xenon via component cable - PQ is ordinary as it was only 480i
3. Connected it to another Xenon na progressive - PQ is much better at 480p
4. Connected it to PSP via component - PQ is good at 480p, although the screen is small (miski i-zoom ko ay di na mapuno yung screen). Hindi ba dapat ay automatic na mapuno nya yung screen?
5. Tried playing USB - it cannot recognize mkv files, DIVX is no problem. Files I have is the 700mb na DVD rip, so I assume quality is DVD also at 480p. PQ is ok, depende sa pagkakarip. So hindi ko pa actually nasubukan ang HiDef hangang 480p lang. San kaya pwede makadownload ng 720p or 1080p na AVI test file?
6. Connected it to a Notebook via RGB, PQ is very nice although kailangan ko humanap ng tamang setting kc hindi puno yung screen, sometimes kulang sa gilid pero at 1024 x 768 e puno ang screen may konting kulang lang sa kanan. Sabi sa manual ay depende sa Video Card- guys- do you have the same observation?
I played a BR Rip ng Gladiators- mas malinaw sya compared sa DVD, pero playing it via RGB na 1024 x 768 so hindi pa rin sya HD talaga?
Mga masters -paki enlighten naman kaming mga newbie:
a) is it correct to assume na miski ang source video file mo ay 720p or 1080p, pero i-output mo naman sa laptop na 1024 x 768 e hindi pa rin HD resolution?
b) assuming naman na may upscaling DVD player ako connected via HDMI 1080p, tapos nagplay ako ng ordinary DVD malaki ba ang improvement or PQ will just be the same except naka-HDMI lang ako?
Thanks a lot in advance, sana weekend na uli para makapagexperiment...
