Puncher: 355f: moxxey: 355f: The beocentre 2 doesnt need to upscale as the BS3 in bv4/9 does that in a better way than an inbuilt scaler. A scaling chip costs $4 so im sure bno would have put this in if it influenced the results that much. It might not need to upscale, but it doesn't have HDMI-out, either.

moxxey: 355f: well thats the point- yes it has scart but if the bs3 does the upscaling one does not need hdmi to connect the bs2.
