LN32A450 is HD Ready not Full HD.
Full HD can handle 1920*1080p @ 50 or 60 Hz.
HD Ready can handle up to 1920*1080i @ 50 or 60 Hz
i=interlaced so actual refreshing 1080/2=540 lines @ a time. Usually ODD/EVEN.
This would happen at 25 or 30Hz.
p=progressive refreshes @ 50 or 60Hz.
So unless you watch extremely high speed action movies you will not notice anything (movie theater = 23.98fps).
When receiving the 1080p res. (default auto)
from the dvd player i get slight snow. I have
to manually change the res. to 1080i or less.
The dvd player will not hold the 1080i res.
when setting it in setup. No matter what i
do the dvd player reverts back to 1080p (auto).
My ln32a540(720p)has no problems with
the 1080p res. Does the ln32a450 not except 1080p
res. ? And why does the dvd player not hold the
1080i setting always reverting back to 1080p (auto)?
