So I've got the Samsung 50" DlP set here that was a specific request of a client for a home theater I'm doing. I set it up in the shop over the weekend to familiarize myself with it and start programming the MX-700. My only source was analog cable to start with. Talk about a bad picture. motion artifacts like I haven't seen in a long time and the audio was about a full second ahead of the video. It was just as bad with the matching samsung DVD running NTSC component. I ran over to a big box store for a DVDI cable ($100?!). That really transformed it. Night and day picture quality and the audio sync was on target. I expected a major improvement but I didn't expect it to look so bad out of the box. Just thought I'd put the info out there and see what general response comes back.
