What does “up-convert” mean?
Up-convert takes place when a digital television’s display capabilities exceed the digital broadcast signal and the broadcast signal is increased to match the TV’s display program using 480 lines (480i or 480p) and the digital television is able to display 1080 lines, the signal is increased or up-converted to match the TV, resulting in hazy picture quality. Sampo HDTV Monitors/TVs can display all digital resolutions from 480 lines to high-definition 1080 lines, eliminating the need for the HDTV decoder to up-convert broadcast signals.
