After dealing with geometry and color distortions on my 40" Sony XBR set for about the last six months, I'm finally looking to replace it. I've gone ahead and removed anything with tubes from my list (just thought I'd avoid that headache altogether), which leaves me with the digital rear projection technologies.
My question is this: all of Sony's LCD rear projection sets sport a native resolution of 788p-- am I better off feeding such a set a 1080i or 720p signal from my 8000 HD STB (or an upconverting DVD player for that matter)? I don't know if most scalers prefer to upconvert or downconvert. If anyone has an opinion (or better yet, if you own one of these Grand Wegas or, say, a plasma set with an oddball native res), I'm all ears. Thanks--
