Hope someone here can help..
I have a Samsung HC-R4755W HDTV CRT rear projection television.
It can display (1080i/720p/480p/480i). With the DVD player I have set up on Component cables (Y,Pb,Pr),,I am not getting a very good picture.. I tried using my Xbox 360 as a DVD player and it was better but to me does not look as sharp as it should for 480p..I am assuming the Apex DVD player is able to output 480i and 480P but nothing higher, and definitely does not render a picture on par with the Xbox 360 DVD player with I am pretty sure is rendering 480P. My xbox 360 is also set up on Component.
Anyway I have been looking into getting a DVD that Upscales / upconverts the DVD image so it can be rendered in 720P or 1080i and I am hoping that some of you out there can give some insight into what player will give the best image on the 4755W..I have read that most of the upconverting DVD players are really meant to be used or get the best results with Fixed pixel displays like LCD, Plasma, DLP.., With some eluding to these type of DVD upconverters not giving a pleasing image on CRT RPTV's..
But, After looking over the forum I am seeing that in fact there are DVD upconverting players that do work and give good results with Rear projection CRT based sets..I am looking at the Samsung DVDHD841 since it has DVI and I think it is also able to render 720p / 1080i through component input as well.
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
By the way,,,The games I have played so far on my Xbox 360 with this television look amazing..Better than anything I have seen on a LCD, Plasma, or DLP...
Current set up...
Display~Samsung HCR4755W~DVI input,but only using Component at this time.
DVD player~ Apex AD1165~Progressive scan~connected via component
Alternate DVD player~Xbox 360~connected via component
