Rayxi: That summed it up pretty well.

Bavarian: My DVD is like all others, no HD yet. Connections, yes. Real HD, no.

I am using component outputs with good quality Monster cables.

I think (suspect) that the scaler in the TV is better than the one in the DVD recorder.

And I share the dismay that the manufacturers need to fight over standards instead of just getting on with it.
