I am right now in the market for a 37" (diagonal) HDTV LCD display to replace my 27" CRT TV. The model I'm thinking of getting is the Samsung LN37A450, since I don't have any immediate plans to connect a Blu-ray player to the TV.
Here's the question: what should I use to connect a DVD player to the TV? Should I keep my old Panasonic DVD-S35 player and connect it to the TV via the 480p component video inputs? Or buy a low-cost upconverting player to convert to 720p signal and connect it to the TV using the HDMI input? Does the DNIe signal-processing circuitry on the LN37A450 "process" the 480p component signal for better picture quality? (I'd like to keep my old DVD player if possible.)
