Really? The explanation that I was given is that the TV just accepts what it gets and cleans it up a little. This made sense to me since my present TV is capable of 720p/1080i, but does nothing at all with my cable picture. DVDs are better, but NOWHERE near HD quality.
So, do you think this because they are fixed pixel sets? My set is technically as much a 720p TV as a new Samsung, isn't it?
As you can tell, I am woefully ignorant on the subject, so I would appreciate any input.
If I can get more info from you guys, I will call Samsung and Toshiba again tomorrow.

Thanks.
