This is my current set up , the TV is connected to my Laptop through Onkyo TX-NR828 Amp from where the resolution is being upscaled to 38602160 Resolution.Sorry for the poor quality pics.

Some images from my setup -

The first 3 images are in dark and next in full day light.

Some more images taken today - enjoy

All images are from 576i SD upscaled to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz using the converter. The image of the converter is in the previous post. I have also ordered the VGA to HDMI converter which converts to 1080p. Its expected in another 2 to 3 weeks. Will post images later for that.

Thanks for the pics... TV looks even more beautiful...:clapping:

Have you connected PC to TV via VGA port? Have you considered a Graphics card with HDMI out?

May be you should consider an AVR with 4K upscaling feature (in near future) with dedicated video processor which can handle the upscaling process more efficiently...

I have connected my laptop to this TV using the VGA port and am actually watching DVD movies by this method using the VLC player (my Pioneer DVD player is not working since past 6 months and i may go for a Blueray player).

The converter does a very good job of converting the composite video to VGA with upscaling too. I have compared both composite and VGA and find the colour quality in the VGA to be way ahead than the composite video.

I have already ordered the VGA to HDMI converter from eBay which takes a RGBHV signal and upscales it to 1080p. My VGA now outputs 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz. I believe if i feed this signal to the VGA to HDMI converter it should be able to upscale it to 1080p. The only way to check this out is to connect and find out. I am expecting the delivery in 2 to 3 weeks time, will post images after that.

I will like feedback from FMs if the HD set top boxes from Tata sky, Dish TV also provide better images than what i am currently getting? Since the transmission is currently 1080i, I will need to discover if my converter does a better job than the set top box. Keeping my fingers crossed.

The best thing about the mod is it was very economical to implement

Composite to VGA converter - Rs.1050/-

VGA to HDMI converter - Rs.740/-

Both converters are available at eBay.

Congrats Hari on your new purchase.

Congrats on your purchase, Hari. When you upscale a lower quality video signal, how does it compare with a HD ( 1080p/ 1080i) signal. Is the latter not the better alternative?

 

[Hari Iyer]

I do agree that later is a better option, but with this method I am able to get 90% of the quality with all channels into 1080p. Even the by service envy acknowlede this.

@Hari Iyer sir.

Can you please mention the model number?? I went through all the 6 pages and could not find the model number mentioned anywhere?? is it XT780GAU3D??

Also are you finding any ghosting effect when you play movies with fast action scenes?? or sports??

This month the VU TV purchased in 2015 completed full 8 years of service with zero issues till date. My average Dail usage is around 2 hrs. Works and looks like new.
