Hi Burundanga,
Try the component video with the Samsung 841 and compare the results with the DVI connector. Your Samsung HDTV's internal A/D video processor may deliver a sharper image using the component-video feed than the DVI connection will yield.
It depends on the quality of the video processing chips in both your Samsung HD set and in the 841 DVD player. A friend of mine (Al Griffin) who does the video tests for Sound&Vision magazine found that the 841's DVI output "provides a soft picture and limits shadow detail". In his tests, the 841's analog component video outputs gave better results.
Watch for a feature article on analog and digital video cable links in the Axiom AudioFile newsletter, to be published next Tuesday. You can sign up to receive it on the Axiom home page.
