yeah, and if you game, dont be afraid to bring your console to the store. i mean, it's a semi-major purchase. you better be damn sure it's what you want lol. i think if i brought my crt home and plugged my GC into it and it sucked, i'd probably **** my pants. the weight of those things are no joke -___-
Why would you want to use standard definition 480p exclusively to judge the PQ of an HDTV (which is outputting either 1080i and 720p with HD signals)? You want to watch high definition signals to judge the performance of a high definition television. Whether the signal comes from Discovery HD or HDnet or whatever, these are digital signals. They either work or they don't (in other words, the PQ ain't gonna suck unless the source is substandard). Not to mention the TV's color decoder can err differently between SD and HD signals. And you can almost count on decoder error.....whether it be pushing red or green or an overly baked grayscale.Quote:

That's what I'm waiting for. Not a big fan of the color wheel or spending $200-400 every couple years for a new bulb.Quote:

Simply amazing. My nephew came over yesterday to watch the football game and brought his Xbox 360 and Call of Duty 3. HOLY SMOKES! What a blast. We switched from the football game in HD to the Xbox and back. What a great picture.
Paid $1,499 at BestBuy. Have Comcast digital OnDemand with HD option.

So what's the deal? DLP still worth it? I know they are the cheaper of the three (LCD and plasma), but I'm surprised it's still around. I guess if you don't have to have your tv hanging on a wall that It's a nice and cheap tv (relatively speaking of course).
the new dlps are starting to use LEDs instead of lightbulbs, so they shouldnt burn out. still if you're very patient, laser seems to be the most promising tech on the horizon :D
i dunno what happened to large OLED...
I've heard really good things about this upcoming laser technology. It's supposed to use 1/2 the energy of plasma and be cheaper as well. Not too shabby.
DLP is the way i like the http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1138085296581
I doubted very much it can do 720p. :DQuote:

It's still a year away and there will no doubt be imaging/technical issues for early adopters as there always seems to be with new technologies. I love the early adopters though as they do all the beta testing for consumers who prefer mature technologies. :DQuote:
