It all depends on how good the scaler is.
Like the saying goes - "Oils ain't oils, Sol".
Scalers are the same - there are good and bad, very bad, and some that are
excellent. But you will also pay top dollar, probably $3K+ for the
excellent ones.

Hi Shaun,

The Infocus 4805 is only low resolution (854 x 480) to start with, so
upscaling a DVD image, and then downscaling it again to fit the native
resolution of your projector can only add artifacts. I reckon you're
better off sticking with the Pioneer 344.

Regards

John

I don't think infocus 4805 can take advantage of the upconversion this
player is
offerring, 4805 has a native resolution of 850x480 will display 720 p
material
in a compress format.
