Hey everybody and Happy Holidays. I have a 55" Sony 720p Television and we get HD stations but not all b/c our Cable in NJ sucks. However, I just bought a UPCONVERT DVD PLAYER b/c I am still waiting for the format war to end. That being said, does the setup on the Upconvert DVD player have to be set at 1080 or do I just leave it at 720? Does it make a difference in the picture? So basically the TV is 720 and they told me at Best Buy that the UPCONVERT makes the picture look more HD and closer to the HD "look." So is there some type of menu or setup thing I have to do? Do I just leave it as is or on the menu (there is a menu w/ the listings 480/720/1080), do I change the setting to 1080 for a superior picture? Thanks in advance...
