Does this device actually upscale 480i and 576i to 480P and 576P as advertised? The J-tech knock-off doesn't and I need it....

To be honest I have no clue...but I would not buy this item again. Has not worked most of the time. I am buying a better one soon.

Dear Lance, The UN65H8000 has 1080p upscaling but not 4K upscaling. 4K is higher resolution. Eric C

I have it set to Hi as well but I wouldn't think it is more than 480p at absolute best. Pretty grainy. Good camera for the price but for good detail that your looking for can cost upwards of a $1000 and doesn't work with this system. my 2 cents...

480p is all you're getting. The product misrepresents its ability to use 720p.

I would rather recommend retunrning it and then rebuy it if needed, I bought mine last year and its totally the opposite to your description, works like a charm and displays 1080p, you can even read license plates

This system will upconvert to 1080i, but only when using HDMI. It isn't a very good upscale, however, and seems quite blocky for picture quality. This came as a bit of a shock as the PS3 upconverts and upscales so well for DVD's that they almost appear to be in high def. Don't get this system for it's DVD playback capabilities!

This unit upscales 720P-1080P and is compatible with 4k but does upscale it.

To a greater extent, YES. The unit takes you from RCA jacks with 720 and up-converts you to 1080i. It's like going form VHS to DVD. The difference is also noticeable when playing wii games. Our grandchildren have the first wii and could tell the difference. WE have had it for 6 months and love it.

It isn't a true 4k, it uses circuitry to simulate 4k resolution. It's called upscaling

yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the... » Read More yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. « Show Less

S. Dvorkin - Check out this link - I don't know much about PS3's but I read in this link that if you switch one of your settings in the PS3 to "Bitstream" you will send digital to the STR-DG920 - once the 920 receives the digital signal it will upscale it in the process. I have a Sony BDP550 connected to my 920 and it does amazing things with 480P DVD's - http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/archive/index.php/t-1013635.html

I just bought mine for BB yesterday. It does say in the menu and in on the box that it has 4k "upscaling". Not sure how good it is becuase I only have 1080p lg tv.

Why buy a player that can produce a resolution of 1080 P to a device that is only capable of 320 I or less via a s-video connection. It is like owning a Ferrari with a 4 cylinder engine.

As far as I know nothing is even broadcast in 1080p. I've tested both connections Component and hdmi with my HD cable which is 1080i and the difference is not even visible.

I think it will upconvert any video source to 1080p. I am reading the info and I have bought it from amazon, but I haven't receive it yet.It won't improve the image as long as you don't have a good video source like HDMI. HDMI and component cables provide up to 1080i resolution (similar to 720p). Blue ray and PS3 are the only source with pure 1080p.Just make sure your TV supports 1080p, otherwise it won't make any difference.
