The VP30 does have issues with 1080p via HDMI but considering I'm using straight component ( no HDMI at all) and my set can't process 1080p.
I've read the VP30 does a "bobbing" of 1080i images which means it down coverts to 540p than doubles that image to give you 1080i hopefully I'll not notice anything different than straight 1080i but from what I read I'd have to have eagle eyes to notice this. As mentioned I got this strictly for reduction of overscan and of course edge enhancements. I prefer the more "film like" image of my RPTV the other thing I love is how inky black my Pioneer looks without any hint of pixcellation as my plasma does. I have no plan on upgrading my Pioneer for a long time (I just love the PQ and black levels) so hopefully this will take it to that next level.Īlthough I love the clarity of new flat panel sets and how it's like looking through a mirror I find it distracting also. Brand new these things retailed for 1,999.00 I got mine for 150.00. It also has four screen resolutions for 1080i so hopefully my Pioneer will be able to process the better 1080i screen resolutions that the DVDO offers.
So the DVDO has overscan and under scan adjustments and 35 built in easy screen adjustments that from what I read negates the need to get the set ISF calibrated. I've gone into the hidden menu and reduced overscan to 5% but alas it also gives me geometry issues in the top corners with full screen images that nobody really notices but I sure do. Now the Pioneers already have awesome scalers built in (in fact one of the best) the issue I have is with overscan. He's also throwing in the BNC to RCA adapters so I can finally have a great scaler on my ten year old Pioneer Elite TV. Why anyone would spend 2,000 use it a month and box it i have no idea but he says its in mint working condition. Anyway the cost was always an issue but today on eBay I scored a mint condition one only used by the owner one month before he moved and boxed it up and never used it again. Okay for years now I've been on the lookout for a great video processor that will output both component and HDMI and the DVDO VP30 has been my only choice (most are strictly HDMI or older models that do SD only).
