Ok, I hope someone is going to respond to this. I think I'm following what you all are saying... I'm one of the complaining wives who is not smitten with the new 40" Samsung LCD TVs b/c my cable channels look terrible. We have a new box and new component cables from the box to the tv and other than the HD channels and DVD's the picture looks worse than my smaller lower quality tv. So, is it the "wonderful" people at Comcast shoving everything through too many cables or what? Supposedly we will have HD channels here in a month or so (read 1 year) will this improve the quality of the picture??
Thanks!

i am having the same problem. going to try this tonight:
http://www.bigpicturebigsound.co…i guess it's best to turn your tv on before the cable box, so that the cable box can recognize the display's resolution capabilities. if it can't determine how high the resolution can go, it defaults to 480i (shit)

Ok im no expert but here is my quick "i went thorough this" guide:
If you have a TV that supports 1080P (people sometimes refer to it as true high def) you need the following to make it work right.
1- An HDMI cable.
2- A HD Source.So, If you have cable, the you will need to upgrade your box to a HD cable box. You will also need to pay for and upgrade to a HD package to get the HD channels. This is the same for satellite.
For DVD/HD media:
You will need a HD player, like Blue-Ray or HD. Get Blue Ray, HD is dying. HDMI cable. You blue ray player will upscale your current DVD's to 1080P using software.If you dont want to spend the $$ on a BlueRay player, you need to buy a Upscaling DVD player. These go for about $60-$150. You will also need a HDMI cable. make sure the DVD player upscales to 1080P.
If you have this set up and your picture is crappy, then contact your cable company, cause it shouldn't.

Oh, it's the cable company.
I have the HDMI cable and the HD source/cable box but I'm only getting fair to good signal. SO Comcast is sending someone out on Sunday - SUNDAY? - to check it out. You know... sometime between 2 and 5 PM....
My husband is sticking with the logic that the new TV is just so awesome that we can see just how crappy cable looks now... I'm not sure this is a clear advantage over the old, less awesome tv.
