A 480p image is NEVER “near true HD.” It is scaled, which causes mosquitoing, haloing, diagonal biasing, and more artifacts. A 480p source image CAN NEVER match a 1080p source image.

There’s more to it than just the output resolution. A 1080i image from DirecTV isn’t as good as a 1080i image from Blu-ray because the DirecTV image is compressed more, so more image detail is lost.

A 720p streaming movie actually has LESS picture detail than a 480p DVD movie because of the compression ratios. There are more pixels in the image, but each pixel has less data.

average 480p upconvertion is 960p that 960p native effective performance is then video outed at 720p 1080i or 1080p

its a near TRUE HD 1080P IMAGE FROM 480P
