After one week with the LC45 I am very pleased with its performance, especially HD feed from my Comcast cable box.


I am however still a little less than ecstatic with my DVD playback. I have a Sony progressive player with component feed to the AVC box. The picture/color is excellent but I am seeing a little too much edge artifact. The contours are rather soft than sharp and at six feet viewing system I can see that the image is a little bit off.


In contrast movie feeds from HBOHD or MAXHD looks great with great detail and sharpness.


Is the scaling on my DVD player crappy? Do I need a DVD player with DVI or HDMI output with 1080 upconversion? Does the Denon 500-1000$ players make a difference? Does different DVD makes make an impact on picture quality? Would DVDO video processors make a difference?


I think this is a case of the LC45 having "too many" pixels to manage and the DVD 480p input just isn't upto par.


Any input would be appreciated.

Is everything set up for 480P? DId you change the inputs on the 45" to accept film? Check the input settings on the 45"

Considering you have a giant "Monitor". I'd highly suggest an HTPC as

a DVD solution. You can tweak the PC to give you pixel perfect output and

there are a variety of filters and codecs you can experiment with for

better picture quality.


If you really want to push the limits, there is a program called ffdshow than

can provide further improvements.


Not to mention you can use the HTPC for other apps such as PVR, music jukebox and gaming

The input says 480p when I push input then enter for the DVD component. What do you mean "accept film?"
