sadly you can't. i have a 27" samsung and hooked up with the component cable to the component dvd input. but once you flip the indicator to hd, the screen will become distort, like your tv gone bad. however, using component input is really much better than connecting the yellow rca video alone.

480i is exactly the resolution of sdtv. Edtv is 480p and everything above is hdtv. You will see no benefit from "switching" to 480i because you're not switching anything... same resolution.

Ok, i understand now.

480i < 480p < 720p/1080i < 1080i.

480i is the least resolution you can have, and is what regular TV's use.  But......480i will look a lot better on a better TV, such as yours, and when using the best cables (component or s-video).  The same goes for the higher resolutions on EDTV's and HDTV's, that is, these higher resolutions will look superior on better higher res capable TV's.

True, but only for 480i/p (PAL is 540i/p if my memory is correct).  I'm pretty sure the rest of the HDTV resolutions are stardard, regardless of region.


EDIT: on my previous post there is a misprint, the last resolution should have been 1080p, and thereby looking like this:

480i < 480p < 720p/1080i < 1080p

Also, these questions could have been answered if one were to look in the posted topics in this forum.  Twistedsymphony answers all this and more, in there.

just for clarification...these are all NTSC resolutions


actually not...

NTSC is 480i/p

ATSC is 720p or 1080i
