Then what you are saying is that the picture IS SHARPER on the Samsung with
more video bandwidth and all the errors in the picture that couldn't be seen
on the MIT are now there for you to see on the Samsung.

If there is fuzziness on the HD input it's because there isn't enough
information for the display. The only weak point in some of the DLP sets is
that they assume that the input is from a Samsung STB which has the 480I to
480P converter in it. So low res pictures from NTSC sources are soft. The
Mit probably has the <line doubler> or 480I to 480P upconverter in the TV.
MY Akai (Samsung) projection TV has the line doubler in the TV and I notice
a difference from those sets who don't have one.

The 5674 is one of the best looking DLPs out there. Either it is set
incorrectly or receiving a bad signal, or you just don't like DLP.

Thank you both for your feedback.
