HD Ready means it is able to display a HD signal, it may downscale it

I need to check my manuals for both tv and projector.
Even if my tv & projector didn't downscale and I had the HD Toshiba
DVD would the amp I've got between them potentially downsize the
signal if it's not full HD?

I've got Cambridge Audio standard DVD going through a Cambridge A.
Azur 5.4 amp connected via component into an Hitachi TX300 projector.
I'll look into the output potential for all. Sound is to Tannoy 5.1EFX
+SW.
I suppose Full HD kit is V expensive - please don't tell me for my £2K
I could have done better.

I would have thought your kit is ok but as a rule it is probably better
to ask these questions before parting with 2k

Re paint on the wall - right now its standard white Matt Emulsion I'm
afraid. I've looked at the Goo and something on Amazon. I've got a
screen but quite like the chic of just using a wall, it impresses
dinner guests!
Does using the special paint really add that much to the viewing
experience?, I mean really? (as in my sceptical wife would see the
difference - I wouldn't need a bearded Lord of the Rings fan sporting
a lab coat and an IQ of 160 to prove it to her with a light meter).

I was being slightly tongue in cheek with that one - some people swear
by a certain shade/make but you probably wouldn't notice any difference.

I also can't help but think you are trying to impress the wife with
completely the wrong things - IME cooking dinner and a bunch of flowers
gets me far more sex than showing her just what a difference there is
between 5.1 and 7.1 surround ;-)

The more I learn the more I worry.


Enjoy what you have. I am at the moment struggling with an inner demon
that is telling me to spend 3k on a new projector when my current one
looks brilliant.
