The samsung can only do 1080i, while the philips can do 720p and 1080p as well. Which is totally irrelevant unless you have a good upscaling DVD player, or are going to connect your TV to your PC.
^^ Well connecting tv to your pc to watch dvd's seems better than watching a dvd on tv using dvd player.(Many say quality is better)
But isn't it better to watch them on computer monitor itself ??? Or do we get better quality on high end TVs like the above mentioned philips 34 inch model ??
size matters mate... besides you'd have to spend a fortune to get equivalent LCD or CRT based pc Monitor, also the brighness levels on TV are generally higher than PC monitors
I don't think that the movies or images look that bad...its the text that is not legible....Watching movies in a 34" big screen is defnitely a better experience than in most pc monitors
I have 29PT8836 and DVP5965K/98 connect through component video and AV streo cables.
I get resolution of 576P only for DVD playback(Normal DVD). The "Upsample" button always shows invalid input symbol in the screen.
I read from the following link Home Theater View: Upsampling is the new progressive scan that upsampling is only available only with digital video inputs (DVI or HDMI). Philips 29PT8836 has no digital video input. However in the specification Philips mentioned the resolution of 720P and 1080i. How I can get these resolution?
Have anybody tested upsampling in the above TV/DVDP combination?
Thanks
Sam
