Wow, nice. Same as the above poster, I saw that one at 650 a while back. I ended up getting another LG 1080p model. Anyway, what's with the people that claim you can't notice 1080p on a 32 inch. It seems like they are just regurgitating what they're told. I can definitely tell a difference between 1080p and 720p on my 32 inch. Hell, I can see a difference on a 23 inch monitor.
32 inches wont do justice to an 1080p resolution. You shouldve gotten a 40+ tv broSolid_Tango
Stop giving advice when you clearly dont have a clue of what your talking about.
Resolution is fixed, 1080p is 1080p which is 1920 x 1080 and always will be 1920 x 1080. This does not change just because the screen size gets smaller or bigger. A 22" 1080p TV/Monitor will look the same as a 60" 1080p TV/Monitor (taking away all other varibles) You just have to sit closer to the smaller screen to be able to notice the difference. As you dont know his/her viewing distance, then you can not give advice.
I wish this myth 1080p is no good on screens lower than 40" would die away.
I wish we could stick a frozen post on the top of this thread that displays the resolution/distance chart. Yes 1080p may be worthwhile if you sit ~4 feet from the TV. The myth that 1080p is only noticeable in 40"+ sets is false, but the concept comes from the fact that many people sit over 6' away from their TV's sets. At over 6', 1080p is not worthwhile even on 50" sets as the human eye can not perceive the difference between 720p and 1080p at that distance. The other huge myth that was casually inferred by another poster is that you need 120Hz processing. First, if you get a plasma, 120/240/600 Hz really means nothing as plasma does not have the inherent motion refresh rate lags that LCD has. Also, as for 120Hz TV's, they do affect the picture in other ways. What to look for in the 120Hz TV's is the ability to turn turn off the anti-judder/smoothing mode (I believe all the Samsung's can do this) so that you can et some of the benefit of 120Hz processing without the artificial smoothing that makes film look like "soap opera's." All in all, the main point to take from all of this is that you need to look pass marketing specs and do some research on how all these specs contribute to the overall picture quality. I would take a quality 720p true high contrast plasma (like the Pioneer Kuros) over a 1080p, 100:000:1, 240 Hz TV any day.
