I have a Panasonic 47" HDTV (1080i, 480p & 480i) and now I have the Samsung HD841 connected through the DVI port. I honestly cannot see a difference from this player and my other one which is a Philips DV642 running in 480p progressive connected with the component cables.
I have tried the Samsung HD841 in 1080i mode and it doesnt even look as good as the 480p mode on this player. I tried a couple of different movies and I am stumped because I liked watching the movies better on 480p compared to the 1080i.
Could I possibly be doing something wrong where I cant see any of a difference? I figured I would see some better results with this player considering I dumped $200 on it compared to my $60 Philips but I cant. This just seems a bit odd because I have heard people talk about this player and they say the picture is great....even though alot of people have some problems with it......
I guess the question can be this, is anyone using these upconverting players that used a progressive scan dvd player that was connected using component cables and seeing a difference? Now dont get me wrong the picture is very nice but just not nicer and thats what I wanted...
