Art,
I think you're going to find that the Samsung can NOT do 1080i via the DVI interface. Unless the newer models now support this - this is an unsupport resolution. :(
It is supported using the VGA interface - just not the DVI.
I'd be interested in knowing if your model does. I have the HLN model. The HLP (most recent) - may support it now - not sure.
