I bought a Samsung TSL3293HF a few months ago. I'm extremly happy with it -- the picture is great (although the built in sound sucks but who cares).

I just purchased a Philips DVD793C progressive scan dvd player. I hoooked it up (via component video) and put in Lord of the Rings. The 480i mode looks fine but the 480p is out of sync -- like two different images that don't converge correctly.

The Philps docs state "Make sure the TV's Sync Mode setting is correct. For example, on some Philips TVs, set 'SYNC MODE' to 'SYNC MODE 2'. An incorrect Sync Mode setting will cause the picture to shift off-center on the TV screen while using Progressive Scan. Check your TV owner's manual for detials on correct Sync Mode settings."

I can't find anything about sync mode in the Samsung docs or on the TVs menu or even searching the net. Does anyone know anything about this? ShouldI return my DVD player and get one that outputs the correct sync mode for my TV?
