As your display is 1280×720 (720p) you’ll be limited to a final display resolution of 720p or 480p/i. You may want to experiment with both 1080i and 720p output from the player however, as your display may offer better de-interlacing than the DVD player.

Unfortunately up-conversion can’t be accomplished over component cables with that particular player. You’ll need to use an HDMI cable to accomplish this.

As to verifying what resolution the television is displaying, I can’t say as I’m overly familiar with that particular model, but most Samsungs (If I remember correctly) have some ability from the remote to display the current resolution. Try “display” or similar option from the menu.

Hope that helps.

We’ve hooked up component cables, but neither one of us can ‘really’ tell a difference between the display. At least if I saw something that said ‘TV outputting at 1080i’, or something like that, I’d feel better…
