At first i thought maybe the JVC doesn't like the 1080i signal, so I tried it in the PS3 at 1080p, and it looks much better on the PS3. Then to test that, I tried it in the Oppo, no combing artifacts there. HD-DVDs look just fine, I can't think whey I would suddenly start seeing this with a new display device.  |
The arifacts you describe are not ones of scaling, but ones of deinterlacing. In both the PS3 and Oppo case, you are sending the RS1 an already-deinterlaced signal. In the HD-A2 case, it is still interlaced.
Therefore, it is likely the RS1 is not as good at deinterlacing as your previous projector was. If you fed your HD-A2's 1080i output into a Reon chipset for deinterlacing, such as the one in the Onkyo 875/905 & Integra DTC-9.8, it is likely it would be the best quality out of all your sources. I can tell you straight up that for SD sources the DTC-9.8's Reon is much better than my Sony HDTV and A35's builtin deinterlacers.
