I also hope that buyers realize that this HD DVD player only outputs at 720p or 1080i.

http://www.hdtvexpert.com/pages_b/toshiba_HD-A2.html - this review states that there is a 480p option also. its a great article. He says that the 1080i is the best quality f/ his tests.

edit: changed to 1080i...was a typo.
