Your TV is up-converting the video to the internal 720 format it wants, but it's still only standard definition magnified. Ever hear of BluRay or HD-DVD? These disks carry HD video, not standard def. Your Phillips player is not a HD/BluRay player. A DVD only carries 480 video.

When you press info or display you see the resolution of the source!! (not the TV). The typical output resolution of a Standard-def DVD player is indeed 480i. If you have a progressive DVD player and use component cables, you can go up to 480p. So, don't worry, your TV works just fine.
