I have a HLP4663 and recently switched from component to DVI feed from my Comcast HD set-top box. I don't think the picture is any better, and I've lost the ability to use panarama,zoom1/2 picture modes. Also, 4:3 mode on the TV appears crunched - with black bars on all sides!
Does anyone have any experience with the proper settings on the Comcast Cable Motorola STB? Also, are there setting changes I need to make on the Sammy itself?
Thanks.

On my HLP5063, I can only choose "4:3" and "Wide" on the component inputs. I imagine it would be simlar on the DVI input, however, my cable provider doesn't support DVI yet, so I don't know for certain. The 4:3 picture, looking crushed with black bars on the sides, means that you should switch to "Wide"
The strange thing is that when I had the component cables in use, I could choose any of the five? picture size options. Now I cannot. I am not sure if it is a limitation of the DVI signal, or some setting issue either on the TV or the STB...
Oddly enough, I do remember seeing the Samsung user manual stating that all five picture size options aren't available when using the component source... weird.
Nick, With HD you should only be able to select Normal or Wide. -E

I switched from component to DVI and cant tell much of a difference. Also, I believe I had more swithcing modes using component. Anyways, I am returning the DVI monster cables I bought at Fry's.
