Purchase a DVD recorder/player that has a HDMI cable connection and use the connections on the TV so you'll get a hi def picture. RF will NOT give you a Hi Definition picture even if it's up converted.

1080P resolution is only avalable with BD players, Upconverting DVD players,Some media players and some satellite PPV movies.

Resolution such as 1080p,1080i etc. set by your source of the signal, for example, if your cable box set to 720p that is what you going to get from the TV. Cable box is ont capable of resolution more then 1080i because there is nobody broadcast in 1080p yet. Only way you can get 1080p is BD player, upconverting dvd player or media player. 120 Hz is just a frame rate convertor - takes stendard 60Hz and doubles number of frames to 120. So, you will see 120 frames per second instead of 60.

i could probably walk this one through chat at [email protected]

cannot increase the resolution of the tv. but your tv supports 1080i

if the DVD player or HD tv doesnt upconvert to 1080i, then you are stuck with the native resolution.

Hey smittybd,

According to information provided by the manufacturer, this specific model DVD player is only able to provide upconverted 1080i images via its HDMI output and a maximum 480p resolution using its component connectors. Please keep in mind that while component cables are able to support 1080i and 1080p resolutions, not all hardware (TV's and DVD players) will support these resolutions through component connections.

If you're having difficulty locating a model that specifically supports 1080i resolution images through its component connections, you may wish to try visiting individual manufacturers' websites for more information. Some companies (such as Sony) will provide detailed information regarding what each type of connection is capable of in their owner's manual documentation.

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,

Greetings jhays82,

While I am not familiar with all the models out there, I personally purchased a Samsung upconvert 2 years ago and I could definately see the difference between this and my progressive scan dvd player from before. In searching online for the Panasonic 1080p upconvert, there are several differing opinions, however my suggestion would be to purchase the one that appeals to you and utilize the 30 day return policy if the unit does not work for you.

I hope this helps.

Thank you,
