Have someone else do the connections for you and start the movies up simultaneously so that you can switch between inputs with your remote and do a little blind test. |
And for the love of God....throw out the cable that comes with the DVD player. |
In the upscaling dvd player, the dvd is still 720x480 but the dvd player upscales it to 1280x720 and then sends this 1280x720 signal to the tv that will do no upscaling on it since it is already at the tv's display resolution. |

The HDTVs of today aren't going to upconvert a DVD to 720p or 1080i. TVs dont just have one resolution, as you're implying, most do at least 3. My 30" Samsung CRT HDTV does 480i, 480p, and 1080i. |
