How does the LP350 work with HDTV?
Short answer: Reportedly very nicely, although I haven’t seen it myself yet. See compatible devices section for compatible tuners. Longer answer: It displays 720p or 1080i scaled down to fit into a 16:9 portion (1024×576 pixels) of the display. There is aparently no option to disable the 16:9 scaling of HDTV signals for people with external optical 4:3->16:9 convertors (such as the Panamorph). Infocus could easily add this feature to a future firmware version if they wanted to… According to Infocus tech support, the LP350 is officially incompatible with EDTV 480p signals, even though that’s basicly just 60Hz VGA, which it is officially compatible with. In practice, 480p sources such as the Sega Dreamcast VGA box seem to work well, although some line doublers such as the iScan v1 and v2 seem to be incompatible with the LP350 for some reason, see the compatible devices chart and the Macrovision question for more info…
