Do I need an external scaler for video with the LP350?
Not really – unlike most propjectors, the internal deinterlacer and scaler in the LP350 are excellent! Also, since some popular deinterlacers (line doublers) seem to be incompatible with the LP350, you should be careful when selecting a deinterlacer if you decide that you need one. For the line doubler enthusiasts, the LP350 review at ProjectorCentral seems to be wrong – there *is* some occasional single-frame combing artifacting (which I’ve heard from other sources is handled perfectly by the DVDO iScan line doublers), and even some extremely minor jitter with some sources (which may be trying to compensate for an interlaced display), but these problems are very minor, and the image is always solid with no black scanlines. From the reports I’ve heard of the latest DVDO iScan’s deinterlacing ability, it is more thorough at preventing combing than the LP350’s Genesis chipset, but I can’t imagine that it’s a huge difference overall…
