Just bought a new HDTV

I just bought a new 1080p LCD HDTV and I'm a little puzzled by the picture quality of standard DVDs. I know its a 480i source but I didn't think it would look that bad. Not that it looks THAT bad, but it just looks a little pixalated and the color quality is lame. I've changed the output on my DVD player to 16:9 AR but that didn't seem to help that much. I have it hooked up via component with progressive scan but that doesn't seem to do much either. I don't have HDMI yet, but my player does upconvert via HDMI so maybe that will help things a bit. Thoughts?

I've read that I need to adjust the picture settings on the TV but I'm not sure what to adjust them to. Does anyone have LCD HDTV settings that they would like to share? I'd love to try some different setups to see what works best.
