I just recieved my fp241w last week and have to say im very impressed with the gaming and the overall computer sofware visuals in this display. The part im finally understanding is the way 480p DVD' s do not look very good so far. The best cause i can come up with is that the monitor is trying to blow ap a 480p picture into a 1080p one. It's like increasing a photo past 100% correct? My question in my quest to get the ultimate display no matter what im doing refers to upscaling. Does the fp241 do this atomaticaly? If not would the upscaling OPPO Digital DV-981HD do the trick? All my movies are blurry right now. Is there a way to enjoy DVD's on this screen?
 
The FP241W has 16ms refresh rate right? How is your overall performance while gaming? Seems like a huge step up from the 2407WFP 5ms.
 
I don't know about you, but I've never had 480p DVD's look good other than on my small 17". On my 32" Toshiba LCD TV and my FP241WJ they don't look it, naturally. No amount of upscaling's gonna fix it. My suggestion is to sit further back from the screen, or try watching the movie in a different mode (is that what you do already?)
 
yes the fp241w has an HDMI input and the OPPO uses upscaling to improve DVD's from 480p to 1080p. But my question is wheather my display is doing this already? I know a lot of newer televisions upscale automaticly. Doesn't anyone who ownes this monitor know this?

Your LCD willt have some upscaling options, but your video card will be the superior upscaler, trouble is 480 to 1080 is a big stretch.

All HDTV's will upscale to their native resolution.
