It's not bad actually! I was expecting at that size, with regular DVD and Freeview for it to be blocky and pixel'ly but it's actually pretty good - get up close to text on screen like BBC news etc and you can see artifacts, but general watching is fine.

Got the DVD (regular, not HD) connected by both component cable and HDMI and there's very little in it - HDMI is a bit sharper, and is reporting 1920x1080i res - and the computer connected by VGA is superb! Was running it at 1920x1080 for 1:1 pixel mapping, but switched that down to 1360x768 just to make the text and icons a bit larger and easier to see. But it's clear as fuck (I was running that PC into a CRT TV using s-video!) and dvd/avi playback through the computer is stunning!
