Author Topic: Video Scaling: RGB Analog vs. DVI-D Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 04-27-2010 06:04 PM                     So I recently picked up a second hand DVDO iScanHD scaler for scaling my LaserDiscs. In playing around with the unit, I found that the RGB analog out had a better picture than the DVI-D output. I had each set to output 1080p/60, and for some reason the RGB is producing less noise, and seems to have slightly better resolution too. I would have thought the DVI-D connection would be better since the scaling and de-interlacing is being done digitally and then output digitally. The scaler is outputting RGB color space, and I believe the DVI-D is outputting component color space. Would this account for the difference in quality? I've got the scaler connected to a 1080p LG LCD television. AJG  |  IP: Logged
