I only WISH I had the spare cash to buy a good 32+ inch Widescreen HDTV. ...then I could play Zelda in Full View and Progressive Scan.Figarou wrote:I'm thinking of getting a Wii. But I want to wait a while 1st. I still have my eyes on that 60inch Sony HDTV. My current set is a 45inch

That's not going to happen any time soon though. I spent all of my "Fun Money" on my Wii Console and games, and I'm going to be hard pressed for cash until after the holidays.
...I might have my first widescreen set by sometime in 2008...maybe...
I thought I heard somewhere that plasma screens are going to stop being in production within a few years because the technology is flawed, and better, more reliable and cheaper alternatives are coming down the pipeline.Figarou wrote:Vuldari wrote:I only WISH I had the spare cash to buy a good 32+ inch Widescreen HDTV. ...then I could play Zelda in Full View and Progressive Scan.Figarou wrote:I'm thinking of getting a Wii.

You may get that widescreen set sooner than you think. LCD and Plasma will soon take over. The tube sets will be marked down for clearance. I think the smallest and cheapest widescreen tube TV is 26inches. Only a few $100. Keep an eye on those...Unless you have your heart set on a LCD or Plasma. (I'd stay away from Plasmas. Its still to pricey.)
yes but im a heavy family child and i dont have my own roomMiragh wrote:Ehm, no offence Lukas, but isn't what you like slightly more important? After all, I think if you take care you won't fall of the balcony, besides I read the control is quite sensitive, so you don't have to swing it around that much (although seen in different videos and it surely is more fun ;))
However, after an hour reading, watching and... well, drooling I'm determined to get and buy one.
advertisement & zelda > me

I simply cant stand the image I see on all Rear projection screens. They are a more cost efficient option for getting a larger screen, but they all have viewing angle and picture clarity issues. Again, I've not seen every one on the market, but on the most part, whenever I look at the "High End" ones that supposedly have ultra-sharp high detail 1080i/p displays, the numbers are just hot air to me, because I swear the screens displaying lower resolution on non-projection screens are significantly sharper and clearer.
For people who like to watch movies and sports from across the room, I'm sure that's fine because no one can see the fine details from that distance anyway, but I live in an apartment and generally watch my screen from 4-7 feet away, so if anything is less than perfect on the screen...I notice it.
That's just me of course. ...I'm just venting again because no one seems to make TV's with MY priorities in mind. Projection TV's and Flat-Screens are for people who like having something with impressive technical numbers and sizes to brag about. There are alot of those to choose from.
I just want the sharpest image possible (Like really good PC Monitors), and would prefer an ultrasharp 32-inch screen over any 60-inch screen currently on the market. ...but no one makes those... (At least...I've never been able to find one).
Ahhh...but that's just it. I don't own anything that has HDMI outputs. I would be using my TV to view signals coming from Composite, S-Video and Component outputs. LCD TV's don't seem to like anything except signals that are specifically formatted to their native resolutions in pure digital. Otherwise, there is distortion caused by the signal being translated on the fly from analog to digital.Figarou wrote:I've seen a few high end HDTVs displaying a bad picture. I was told its not the set. Its the source. I've seen almost all the HDTV's in the store playing the same clip. In order to do that...they use traditional RF. Its kinda hard to run all the TVs using HDMI from one player.

CRT Monitors will display whatever you've got at whatever resolution you need. All these new screens can't do that. They all have to do some kind of signal translation as they upscale or downscale the signal to match the screens native display, which is less than perfect unless the signal and the screen match up exactly. (I can see the difference).
What good is a screen that can display 1080i digital signals with perfect clarity, but distorts everything else (especially analog signals like from Regular Television, VCRs and cheaper DVD players like mine that actually translate the signal to analog before displaying it on your screen) if 99% of what you will be viewing on it will be of non-ideal sources?
Case in Point...the next time you see an HDTV displaying a poor picture in an Electronics store, and the clerk blames the source signal, take a look at how that same signal looks on the traditional Box TVs on display. Does it look grainy and poor like the HD sets do...or does it look perfectly fine?
The Market may disagree with me, but I feel that CRT is a highly under rated technology, and still remains the superior when it comes to versatility and overall image quality potential. High End CRT PC monitors can display the highest, and the widest range of display resolutions of all display options.
...why the hell does no one make 32+ Inch Television versions of those beasts in the same quality as the Home Computer Versions? (everything on the shelf now is marketed as a discount alternative, and are not built to be high quality) They would have to be HUGE, but surely there is a market for such a thing...I mean...I Want One...am I really the only one?
(should we move this conversation to a different thread?)
I'm not just talking 72-inch HDTVs vs 25 inch tubes though...Figarou wrote:I see it like this.
When it comes to smaller screens...we don't see the imperfections compared to a bigger screen. Take my Sony PSP for example. When I play an MPEG4 movie on it...it looks perfect. But play that same MPEG4 movie on a bigger screen...the imperfections are easier to see.
Blu-Ray and HD-DVD uses compression. There is always imperfections when something is compressed. (Like pixalization.)
