better TV and better DVD player :gotme:

make sure that the DVD player is playing in progressive mode, and make sure the DVD is a widescreen. but other than that your equipment is your limiting factor

1:1 means pixel-accurate aka if the TV is 1366x768 your 720x480 DVD will play in the middle of the screen (small). Try an aspect ratio like" wide" ?

Some TVs the aspect should be just, just play with the aspect ratios untill it works,

Why in the hell are you running component cables? The TV and DVD player have HDMI…

You also have to select the 1080 or 720 option on your DVD players menu.

up conversion does not mean it will play an HDDVD, it actually means it WILL NOT PLAY, also it has a horrible scaler in it, you need to select what you want the output to be as well as probably telling the TV what signal it is seeing.

:tup: to medium pimping

There’s great, then there’s the Sharp Aquos and Fujitsu PlasmaVision sets. You don’t have great, but I’m glad you’re happy 😃
