I am very close to ordering a Toshiba HD-A1 from the States, but have read that the screen resolution needs to be set to match the DVD film itself. Now this bothers me because I have a Hitachi 42PMA400E (component connection) which gives me the best HD pictures from Sky HD that I have ever seen - very analog looking, contrary to the digitally processed images I have seen on other panels. The problem is that the older Hitachi panels do not show 720p at 50 Hz at all, only at 60 Hz.
No problem for me at the moment because 1080i is available at both 50 & 60 Hz. If I buy the Tosh, and get a film on DVD which is designed to be shown at 720p it is going to look only as good as SD because the player won't upscale.
Are HD-DVD films made in both resolutions?
Am I best waiting for a second generation player?
Many thanks for your help in avoiding a (possibly) expensive mistake!
