System Specs

Yeah there was no way I was going to pay retail for an HDMI cable so I got one online for $7 shipped. I must have HDMI because my player does not upconvert through component, only HDMI.

I've double checked the 16:9 AR on both the player and the TV. It honestly doesn't look that bad, its just that it doesn't look nearly as good as an HD source. Maybe my expectations are too high. I can't wait to see what a DVD looks like upconverted, maybe that's what I'm looking for.

Are there really variations in DVD quality? Because I noticed that when I was watching a Star Trek TNG DVD, (scenes outside the ship in space) the blacks started getting shades of green and blue but then it would go away after a few seconds. However, this does not happen when I'm watching Aliens where there are space scenes and lots of black.

I also wanted to ask: what is a 120Hz HDTV?
