I have been HDTV shopping for quite some time and I have a question for you.....?

Question

I am stuck between 2 tv's. Both are lcd's and one is a 47" 720p and the other is a 42" 1080p, they are about the same price and I am stuck trying to figure out what so sacrifice, size or resolution, I have heard that I wont even be able to tell 1080p on a 42" but I am worried about seeing low quality on the 47" with the 720p res. Please help me out here! Thanks!

Answer 1

The only true source for 1080p signals are Blu-Ray and HD DVD, so 720p will serve you very well.

There is always something new - 1080p, 120 Hz, LED backlight..; buy the TV which you like the picture the best.

If you don't plan to play games, I would also consider a 50" plasma.

Answer 2

I have a Samsung 40 " 1080P LCD T.V and a PS3 None of the games that I have purchased yet are output in 1080P. They are all 720P The picture is amazing. The only way that I was able to utilize the 1080P setting was when I rented Pearl Harbor and played it through the PS3. I didn't notice a difference between the 1080P movie and the 720P games. Since it will be a long time before any cable service provider will be able to output in 1080P I wonder if my purchase was
worth it.
Make sure that you compare both T.V's with your own eyes before buying. A larger screen may produce a worse picture due to the time it will need to refresh the image.

Answer 3

the 1080p is the best one.....720p is old now.......u won't tell the different now but when they have better stuff for the 1080p,u'll notices on ur 720p............

Answer 4

So, the respond is for you to get HD provider from a cable or satellite tv for pc provider and watch the 40" television in HD. you're magnificent. the better the television, the greater serious SD will seem. stay at 32" or so in case you like SD and don't sit down too close.
