My 'problem' is the 4 1/2 year old Samsung DLP. I fear it knows little
to nothing about HDCP so getting a BluRay and then a new computer and
THEN a new TV too.. Well, it all works well now and I don't 'rock the
boat' just for fun. The ATI DVD player really does an outstanding job
with SD DVD so I may just skip it for now.

Agreed. The reason I was fiddling with it was a donated 50" Sony LCD
RPTV at work and when I connected one of my PC's to it (had it at work
to give it its annual dust blow out with the compressor), the video
was unusually poor. I could not find a setting on the ATI 9600XT to go
native to the Sony and the Sony does not re****t back to the PC like
the Samsung does. Basically I was curious to see if I could get the
Samsung to look as bad as the Sony. I can but it's an abnormal run
situation.
