    So your picture quality depends on a few things:
    1) Your TV
    2) Your source material [this case your upscaling DVD player]
    3) cables

    You have a good TV, and the upscaling DVD player probably does 720p or 1080i, which is enough if you only have a 720p set. With 1080p it’d still probably be pretty good.

    With that in mind, I believe your problem is the cables. Are you using high definition cables? You’ll need either component cables or a HDMI cable. If you’re using composite (yellow/red/white) or s-video, you’re only getting a standard definition picture sent to your TV.

    If you buy a cable, you don’t have to get the super expensive ones, just check them out at some place like http://www.monoprice.com. You can get them for considerably cheaper there, and the quality is almost the same. With expensive in-store cables, more than 50% of the price is the markup. So those $100 cables you see get sold to employees for like $20.
