    Re: HDTV Questions and Answer Thread

    Could somebody recommend a good DVD player to go along with a HDTV? I watched a lot of movies on my Xbox and I want to cut out watching DVDs on the 360. I don't want to spend more than $100-150.

                  No problem. I'm sure some of the other guys will give you some advice tomorrow. I haven't looked at TV's since I bought mine 7-8 months ago so I'd need to read some more on those 3 sets to give you good advice.

                  I've heard that first Sony you linked to is supposed to be an excellent set though.

                      Re: HDTV Questions and Answer Thread

                      if you have a Standard TV...is it still going to have HDTV connectors in the back?

                      So do I only need to get a HD Recieve Box?

                            Just posting this on the off-chance that my previous post on the same got lost in the crowd . . .

                            In any case, does anyone have any opinion one way or the other on these - as far as I can tell, the top 4 32" LCD flat-panels currently on the market?

                            (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Samsu...oductDetail.do)

                            -Sony Bravia KLV-S32A10
                            (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony-...oductDetail.do)

                            (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sharp...oductDetail.do)

                            Also:
                            1) How can I tell what each of these TVs native resolutions are? I know they're all 1366x728 resolution, but I can't figure out whether they are native 720p, 1080i, or 1080p or what?

                            2) Finally, has anyone had any experience ordering from Amazon.com? Their prices are so much better than any stores, I don't know why anyone would do otherwise, but I'm assuming there's some reason.

                              1366x728 is their native resolution. 720p is, 1280x720.

                              Since the display is not a native HD resolution (close, just a few too many lines of resolution each direction), it will always have to scale the image to 1366x728.

                                Thanks. I'm still kind of confused though. So, from what you're saying, it would actually be better to have a TV with a native resolution of 1280x720, because then the TV wouldn't have to do any work for the image to come in at 720p? What's 1080i and 1080p, just out of curiosity?
