Re: Any recent thoughts on the Samsung Tantus?

Thanks! The 4:3 27" Tantus *does* have a DTV input choice in the menu. It never occurred to me to choose DTV instead of DVD when the TV was connected to the progressive scan output on my DVD player (the owner's manual doesn't mention progressive scan DVD players or clearly document the difference between the DVD and DTV choices -- and Samsung never responded to my e-mail asking whether the Tantus was compatible with a progressive scan player). I just reconnected the TV's component video inputs to my Toshiba's progressive scan outputs, selected DTV, not DVD, and voile, not only does it work, the picture is noticeably better than it was when the TV was connected to the interlaced outputs!

I stand happily corrected. Upgrading to a reasonably priced progressive scan DVD player (the SD-5109 only cost $500) *is* a worthwhile investment if you purchase a 27", 30", or 32" direct view Tantus.

Thanks again, jee. My apologies to anyone who was misled by my earlier post.
