Blunted 2 Posted January 2, 2007 CID Share Posted January 2, 2007 Well guy's, I'm going to get two new LCD TV's and just wanted to get some feedback from all of you.

Mtal1ca Posted January 3, 2007 CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 In my opinion, this is the best LCD TV on the market without stepping up to a 1080p capable tv, which, at the moment, is a waste of money because the only thing broadcast in 1080p would be the blu-ray disc player. Plus it's at a good price. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-32Cx48SUctW/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?I=158KD40XBR&wm=su Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwhall007 Posted January 3, 2007 CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 over the air HD broadcasts are true 1080P, and they are free Hate to say it, but this is not correct. OTA HD broadcasts are not 1080p. The bandwidth required for 1080p is massive - more than can fit in an OTA broadcast channel, I am fairly sure. The best you can get OTA is 1080i, which is what CBS broadcasts in. Fox broadcasts in 720p. I do not know what ABC (my local station's signal is too weak for me to pick up) and NBC (1080i, I think?) broadcast in. My tuner up-converts all of it to 1080i anyways, so it doesn't really matter to me. As someone stated earlier, the only way to get 1080p is with either a Blu-Ray or HD DVD. Personally, I am in no hurry to upgrade my 1080i TV. I seriously doubt most people, if anyone, could really tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p anyway...

Ryan314 Posted January 3, 2007 CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 Also, the 360 has 1080p if im not mistaken. As well as the PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted January 3, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 Also, the 360 has 1080p if im not mistaken. As well as the PS3. Correct! The only difference is that the 360 uses component cable (which are "GOOD") and the PS3 uses HDMI (which are "BEST"), for HD gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted January 3, 2007 CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 Cant you buy HDMI cables for the 360? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted January 3, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 Cant you buy HDMI cables for the 360? No, hopefully they do make one. It would make me so happy . The only thing they offer is component cables and a VGA HD AV cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted January 3, 2007 CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 Cant you buy HDMI cables for the 360? no, but they need to. it would look so much better over a HDMI cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disturbed Posted January 3, 2007 CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 ...I know im kinda late for this discussion, but I really dont think there are networks that broadcast 1080p yet edit for spelling and sentence fragment lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted January 3, 2007 CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 Okay, then, who is broadcasting in 1080p? in my area PBS does, and well as a bunch of local channels that loop all kinds of content on 1080p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwhall007 Posted January 3, 2007 CID Share Posted January 3, 2007 in my area PBS does, and well as a bunch of local channels that loop all kinds of content on 1080p. I am sorry, but I seriously think you are mistaken. I know Wiki isn't always 100% correct, but please see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p A quote from the article there: Even though various television networks in the world broadcast HDTV programming in 1080i and 720p, no 1080p broadcasting actually exists at this time. Material that has been digitized from a 35-mm film source is basically 1080p24 though, fit into 1080i50 or 1080i60 (progressive with segmented frames) and with proper 3:2 reversal deinterlacing, can be converted back into a true 1080p signal (see above explanation). I think your local stations are broadcasting in 1080i and your tuner or TV are upconverting the signal to 1080p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted January 5, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 5, 2007 Does anybody know if the second LCD TV I chose have HDMI 1.3? I'm unable to find what type of HDMI it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
