From my experience i never really get any good responses through CS from e-mail. They usually always tell me to call 800-SAMSUNG so that's your best bet.
Subject: "ln32a450 slight snow when receiving 1080p signal from dvd-1080p8"
Question: "What's the cause? No problems with
1080i or below. I realize this is a
(720p) lcd but i don't have this issue
with my ln32a540 (720p). Ln32a450
incompatability to deal with 1080p
signal as well as the ln32a540?
Just curious?"
Answer from cs: "Dear mamontano"
"If you get any 1080 (i or p) signal on a 720 p tv it is a surprise. You shouldn't be able to view any resolution that is higher than what the tv supports."
Are you kidding. The whole issue is the dvd player not holding manual
setting of 1080i or less. Reverts back to auto 1080p due to hdmi
connection. Must not know the tv's too well. I think we all know
that 720p tv's support 1080i signals. Bizarro world, man.
