    HDTV Thread

    Would ya look at that, it's not a political oriented thread. Yes, Hell has frozen over.

    Actually I wanted to discuss the sweatshop conditions factory workers endure to make...


    Just kidding.


    No, who has an HDTV, and what kind do you have?


    I'm interested in hearing some feedback about LCD/Plasma models within the last 2-3 years. I just bought one, but I'm not going to show my 'hand' just yet. I want to see who has what... and what's good or bad about it.


    Hint: I bought a model from one of the two top LCD manufacturer's.

    How much do you have to spend?

    I mean built in dvd... you must be looking at a CRT (*cringe*). It better be an upconverting dvd player... or blu ray at least.



    Oh, and damn this stupid format war... I lost when I bought an HD-DVD player during a fire-sale.

    Not bad, LG is pretty solid from what I've read.

    Any problems? Firmware upgrade?

    Do you have the cortex or trident chipset?

    I've heard the newer cortex chipset has some issues until they release a new firmware upgrade for it. I think I'm getting a newer one with the cortex chipset.

    I got an 32" Olevia for my room, not bad.

    Once I move out of this place in a couple of months it is a 47" or bigger Sharp Aquos or Samsung. I want one now but my roommate have a spastic dog that will demolish it.
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.

    I'm considering getting one in the next few months when i move. I took a look a couple of weeks ago and prices were marked down something insane. e.g. 50" (or was it 55") Panasonic priced at $2999 was down to $1299 Most were marked down 50% or so!

    Makes me wonder if prices have really come down or is there something new (tech wise) on the horizon and they are clearing out older stuff

    I just brought a 37" LCD Vizio and a Phillips 52" LCD.
    I have yet to open up the Phillips but I love the Vizio.

    I want to buy a 46" or 52" Samsung LCD HDTV, but the thing I'm most worried about is regreting the stereo system which I would buy along with it (I just don't know enough about stereos).

    For 100 dollars more you can get a Panasonic 42 inch plasma rated best in class, and for another 70 bucks you can get an upconverting DVD player.

    It's pretty nice, it has an individual power supply for each channel, so if one blows, the whole unit doesn't need to be fixed, you can just replace the power supply or live with 6.1. Right now I'm only using it with 3.1. It's 100-110 watts per channel.

    I have a 37" Westinghouse 1080p LCD. I got it about 10 months ago or so. Overall I like it very well. I use it as a PC monitor and for my 360. The only downside to me, as with all LCDs is lower resolutions look like shit.

    I got mine shipped for $1200... You can now get the 42" model at Best Buy for $990 retail.
