Also, you said that D-Theater stuff couldnp't go out the RGB on the T165. Can non-encrypted stuff go out that way?
Thanks,

Hi Darin,
On the samsung, the input resolution is independent of the output. You select the output resolution with a switch on the back (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i) and the samsung converts if necessary the input resolution to the output resolution selected. Given that, however the samsung will not do 1080i->1080p->720p, but instead, like most other hardware currently available will do 1080i->540p->720p when converting 1080i to 720p. This is good for video and for encrypted D-Theater stuff.
For non-encrypted HD movies, I believe your PC has enough power to remove the 3-2 pulldown and give you 1080i->1080p->720p (or 768p

) In addition the PC gives you full gamma control.
Non-encrypted input is available on the RGB output. With 5c encrypted stuff you're limited to either component or DVI with DHCP.
