I am looking to buy a 50-52" dlp projection tv. I was at a store and the salesmen told me that the quality would not be very good on my standard definition signal. Is this true? I don't want to pay the money for a tv that's going to have horrible quality.

To put it simply, no it won't be that great. It will only be really noticeable close up to the TV. Here is my advice on buying TVs right now. If you have to buy one (your old one broke) then buy an HDTV, because it is the future, and you don't want to be left behind. But if you are just wanting to buy one because they are better, you need to be willing to also spend the money for HD signal, otherwise you are just wasting money buying the TV.

It should give you pretty good quality, but not near as good as with an HD signal. DLP televisions are cheaper than plasma or LCD screens, which is a big plus with buying one. If the salesman earns a commission on the sale, the extra price of a plasma or LCD TV could be a reason why he told you not to go with DLP.

it depend on the resulution and the brand of the tv u are buying
but to get that perfect picture it should be close to 1080i
1080i is shorthand name for a category of video modes. The number 1080 stands for 1080 lines of vertical resolution, while the letter i stands for interlaced or non-progressive scan. 1080i is considered to be an HDTV video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels and a frame resolution of 1920 Ã 1080 or about 2.07 million pixels, and a field resolution of 1920 Ã 1080 / 2 (because it's interlaced) or about 1.04 million pixels. The field rate (not the frame rate) in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter i. The two field rates in common use are 50 and 60 Hz, with the former (1080i50) generally being used in traditional PAL and SECAM countries (Europe, Australia, much of Asia, Africa), the latter (1080i60) in traditional NTSC countries (e.g. United States, Canada and Japan). Both variants can be transported by both major digital television formats, ATSC and DVB.
