I bought a Samsung (PS) 50inch Plasma HDTV back in September, been happy with it so far, the Xbox 360 looks outstanding on it

A couple of weeks ago, while in ASDA, I spotted a a HDMI player for a penny under £20.........I couldn't resist, heading home in happiness mode, I hooked one up via HDMI to my 19 inch Goodmans HDTV in my room....perfect, picture was a bit cloudy, but I sorted it......onto the beasty 50 inch HDTV, Hooked it up via HDMI (to the third port on the side, its easier as its wall-mounted) on the DVD screen it looks fine, but as soon as I put a disc in, I get about 10 seconds of playback before the screen goes black, I get sound through the red-white outputs but no picture, I have tried both players, and both cables but with no avail (but it works fine through SCART, albeit with a much lower quality picture)

Can someone please help? (I have just bought I am Legend, and I am dying to watch it through HDMI)

(BTW, Im pretty good with TVs, but not great)

From what I have heard there has been a few compatibility issues with some samsung gear and there hdmi's so this could be one of them. Try another player, you could borrow one from a mate or get hold of another one with hdmi when you can to see if it happens with that.
Oh by the way, 'I am legend' should look pretty pucker through your component outputs on the 360 too.
