The cause of the excessive overscan is unknown, and I would not blame the Sam
sung player because when it was connected to another display device, the 42-inch Hitachi plasma, I did not have this problem. The signal, whether via analog component video or DVI, produced exactly the same size image. Using the Hitachi plasma, I came to the same conclusion as I did with the Sony display: The player’s 480p scan rate was the one to use. I found that setting the DVI output to 480p and letting the plasma upconvert the signal to the TV’s native rate produced the best result. Again, the picture was stunning and virtually free of noise and interference.
If you want a top-quality picture from a low-cost player and have a DVI w/HDCP-
equipped display device, I highly recommend Samsung’s DVD-HD931. Connected
to an HD monitor via DVI,
it will make your DVDs come alive.
Connections: One DVI, one component (Y, Pr, Pb), one
composite, one S-video, one each coaxial and optical digital audio, two pairs analog stereo audio (left and right)
Description: DVD-HD931 DVD player with DVI output and internal upconversion to 480p, 720p or 1080i
