This does not occur when the player is set to 720 or even 1080p, for that matter. Any thoughts on how to correct this?? Should we just keep the player set at 720? The picture still seems much better than a standard DVD.

Thanks in advance, and hope this is the right forum. Merry Christmas

Native resolution of this TV set does not match any standard video format pixel to pixel. So it's all resizing, upconversion, and downconversion. In your case.... choose the best looking one (on the DVI output) and stick with it. I think awhile ago I read review for this set on CNET discussing something about the colors... check it out.
