I don't think Bootman was making fun. I read it as himself saying his question might appear dumb. In Buckets case, the issue is likely moot for his current 1080P display and likely to be the standard when he buys something new. Depending on the TV it may not upconvert lower rez feeds to 1080P. I have a Samsumg DLP which did not upconvert but would display anything fed to it up to its native rez already enhanced by a another source.
