HDTV Thread

I just purchased a 50" Samsung plasma HDTV. 1080p. I also bought the Samsung blu-ray with it. I hung it the wall. I will post a pic once my memory card gets here for my new 10.1megapixel 7x optical zoom Olympus camera. Yeah I splurged a little bit after getting the Olympics paycheck.
 
I got an LG 42" 1040p...
The slower one (60hz) which was on sale...


Finally retired my 20" CRT toshiba...
(for $60)
 
I'll take anything that comes with one of these :grin:

Still need to tuck the wires in a little better. Wasn't to bad to put up. Took about 3 hours to set it all up.

did you guys buy insurance for the tv?
I bought all of ours at Sam's, my first one I didn't like how the blacks came out so returned it no questions asked, the second one didn't have quality sound for me so it went back. Now my 3rd one, a 50'' isn't big enough, I might take it in and get a 60''.....:D Nah, but I have been considering taking my 42" in the bedroom and putting it in my Study for gaming and moving the 50 into the bedroom then buying a new 60" for the living room.....
I now have two 23" LCD tv's as well, I've been thinking of taking one to work to use as my monitor...would that be overkill for Speadsheets?
 
Manic, why dont you stack all your monitors against one wall and play them together.. i.e. watch a movie on all monitors like you are watching the movie on a wall :D

I brought an after-market ambient backlighting kit and while it doesn't match the colors on screen it does look good.

If I wanted to watch on the wall I'd borrow the DLP projector from work. I could have floor to ceiling images....
 
what resolution are you guys running ur 360 through if you have one ?
 
I remember a commercial about once you've bought something new the ads for something better start appearing.

Sony to sell ultra-HD '4K' TV set in US stores

NEW YORK ? High-definition TVs roughly quadrupled the resolution of the sets that came before them. Now, the industry is poised to do it again.

By December, U.S. stores will sell a TV set with four times the resolution of today's best HDTVs, Sony Corp. said Wednesday. The set will measure 84 inches on the diagonal, making the screen area four times as large as the common 42-inch set.
Executives said Sony will reveal the price of the set next week.

There is, for now, very little video content available that can take advantage of the higher resolution. With some work and know-how, a computer connected to the set can display video in the ultra-HD "4K" resolution. The set will also do its best to "upscale" TV, DVD and Blu-ray movies, so they look better.

Phil Molyneux, chief operating officer of Sony Electronics, said the situation was no different from the launch of the cassette tape, the CD or the DVD.
"We always get this question when we launch beautiful new technology: Where's the content?" Molyneux told journalists at an event in New York. "Did we bring the content to market? Yes, we did."

The exact resolution of the set is 3,840 by 2,160 pixels. It's known as "4K" because it has nearly 4,000 pixels on the horizontal edge. That compares with 1,920 by 1,080 pixels in "1080p" sets. More pixels allow TV makers to make bigger screens without compromising sharpness.

Sony makes digital projectors operating at 4K resolution for movie theaters.

The TV industry has been looking for a technology that will get consumers to upgrade their HDTV sets. Sales are slumping after an initial wave of upgrades from standard-definition sets, and 3-D sets attract only a small number of consumers.
Apple Inc. has slowly been quadrupling the resolution of its devices, starting with the iPhone 4 two years ago. This year, it released iPads and MacBooks with ultra-high-resolution screens.
 
My CRT is finally burning out. I have been looking around at the brands when I am in the stores. I noticed a Vizio 1080p 120hz smart 47" last night.

Does anyone have one from this brand? Do you like it or would you have passed in hindsight?

We had a Vizio for about 2 days, there was a bit of pixel lag making blurry pixelated ghosts in the black parts(made worse when stoned), so I took it back and got a Samsung. My Phillips and Samsungs are the best I have had so far out of the many brands we've tried over the years.
