Will Roku Express work on a Samsung DLP Projector TV at 1080i?

Hello, I have a Roku Express and Im wondering if it will work on a Samsung DLP Projector TV that runs 720p and 1080i? The model number is HLS5686WX/XA. I know that some Older HD TV'S have issues displaying Rokus from what I have seen in chat rooms on the Internet.

  • Roku doesn’t support 1080i.  It should work in 720p, though that make take a manual setting because sometimes 1080i (not p) TVs confuse Roku.

      So the best thing to do is just run it at 720p. Im sure it will still look like hd I hope. Never ran at 720p before.

        I don’t know the specs of that unit but when looking at the specs of many older 1080i/720p TVs, they often only really claimed about 720p worth of pixels.
