Thanks Dave!

I don't believe the Denon offers the upscaling option, but I'll check.

I did end up calling Samsung, and they said the tv will upscale the 480p to 1080i. I'm thinking I am probably seeing the best the set has to offer. When I purchased the tv I found a post on the net that indicated internal adjustments that could improve the picture by way of the service menu, which I did. I think it's a pretty nice picture already, so maybe it's best to leave well enough alone! (Uhmm, what a thought!) Except for not being as sharp, it resembles more a plasma screen quality of picture then what we are getting on my wife's lcd hdtv - which is way sharper, but not quite as natural, or smooth as the crt picture. We'll see where the new technology about to be released takes us.
cheers
