Can you recommend a 35mm slide scanner commensurate with CD ROM showing
on Hi Def TV?

Nikon Coolscan V ED or Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED.

Many flatbed scanners are good enough for showing on a HDTV. Max resolution
needed is 1920 X 1080 pixels. I think the video format for HDTV is MPEG II.

The big question, do you have a DVD player that will play a CD-ROM to HDTV?

There aren't many available yet that actually do HDTV, most are SDTV
(640x480).

How about the new flatbed scanners by Canon, the Canoscan 9950 or the
8400?
a) the 9950F is a 4800 DPI scanner which does 35mm, 120 film, and 4x5
sheet
b) the 8400F is a 3200 DPI scanner which does 35mm and 120 film.

All of those scanners can scan the number of needed pixels to display at
HDTV resolution which is a Maximum resolution (1080i) of 1920 pixels by 1080
pixels.

The fact that a scanner can scan at more that necessary has no bearing on if
you can display an image on a HDTV set in High Definition. HDTVs will show a
SDTV picture just fine, but that is not getting a High Definition image to
the set.

There may be Video cards available for computers that output to YPbPr
(Component Video). Look for ATI cards.
Here is one.

This one is lower cost
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102661

The problem is finding a DVD or VCR or DVR or PVR that can record and play a
High Definition picture to the HDTV.

There are lots of current standard definition DVD and VCR machines, but not
many HDTV recording and playback machines for the home consumer.

A good explanation and some details on HD recording that is now available:

Here as a vendor claim, Hi-def JPEGs: JPEGs are picture files from a
digital camera or other imaging source. With this DVD player, you can
play a slideshow of your pictures right on your TV. Presumably, hi-def
TV.

Samsung Hi-Def Conversion DVD Player (DVD-HD860)

Anybody have any experience with it?

No not yet.

You can download the PDF manual here. Right Click, Save Target As.
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.co...-book-0210.pdf

Read page(s) start at 43 (41 of 64). Picture CD Playback for HD-JPEG.
Read page 53 (51 of 64) in the above PDF. Requirements for HD-JPEG.

After reading in the manual, It is possible to play HD-JPEG images with that
machine.
You would need to have the Jpeg saved in either 720p or 1080I format.

It may be as simple as creating a 1920 x 1080 image and saving as a JPEG.
