What does upscale mean?

its when you make the pixel count being outputted match the number of pixels on the screen. Despite the fact that the native resolution and the resolution of the screen are different. They basically just multiply pixels to match the screens resolution, so there will be 2-3 pixels that are identical (thus giving no extra detail, but looking better).

 


 I'm playing my games in 1080i on the xbox 360, is that upscaled?


Probably not. If you are not playing in 1080p, you most likely have a TV that has a resolution of 1360x768. Your TV understands the 1080i (1900x1080) protocol, but in the end you don't have enough pixels to display it. So your 360 or PS3 will upscale to 1080i, and your TV will downscale it right back to 720p resolutions.

I would find out what the native resolution if your TV is, and if I am right, set your console to 720p, and see what it looks like. Often times, it looks better then 1080i.
