Besides that, I just went and looked at every Samsung curved model I could find, and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them, at least, all the ones that I saw currently for sale, had the typical 3 RCA jack component inputs on them in addition to HDMI . I see know reason, unless your TV is different than all the rest, why you can't simply use a set of 3 wire component cables to connect the dvd player to the tv.
There wouldn't even be ANY advantage to using HDMI input on the tv if it was being adapted from a component RCA output on the dvd player.
