I've been playing my ps3 games on my SDTV since i brought it on 576p, (the tv can do 1080i but only on 50hz or some bs like that), and im beginning to wonder am i missing out or wat? I dunno coz some ppl really emphasize what a difference HD makes and others say its virtually no difference to a sdtv, i dont really wanna dish out a hdtv for no reason...
I am not sure if it makes games better in like gameplay but it does make them Godly in every other aspect. Buy a cheap one from wal mart if anything. Or dish out a bit of money on these new sony hdtv's.
I have an sdtv and its very good, dosnt take anything off the pleasure of gaming but i have to say that playing on my friends 1080p 41inch plasma makes a hugh diffrence. Everything is clear and crisp, on my tv i have to seat close to see small details and sometimes even to read text.
oh its incredible. I started on a 27" analog TV, and was blown away by my 19" monitor...lol now I'm saving up for a 46" Samsung 650. Believe me when I say they kick the SH!T out of any Sony Bravia!
I was playing on a SD 32" TV for the longest time...I really didn't believe a LCD HD tv would make THAT much of a difference well...let's just say hahahaha.
The week GTA4 came out is when i found a great deal on a 42" Sylvania special edition 1080P TV it was $799 originally $1399 i couldn't resist...let me tell ya theres a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference in gaming with this tv...colors are way more vivid..things look crisper...I can ACTUALLY READ TEXT I couldnt read the phone and such in GTA4. anyways ya let's just say it make's gaming on these nex-gen systems a lot better experience not to mention watching movies too haha all around getting a new TV is a good idea =)

This pretty well sums it up...BTW if your TV accepts componet cables it will be a hell of alot better than composite hookup.
if you got the right hardware is a huge differance. having a 4:3 vs a 16:9 makes even a bigger deal since it cuts off a lot of the video.

The numbers refer to the number of horizontal lines that the TV can display. An SD TV is 480i. That means it can display 480 horizontal lines in an interlaced format, meaning that at any given time, only half of the lines are displayed (ever other line). The 'p' in 720p or 1080p stands for progressive scan, which means that all of the lines are simultaneously displayed rater than every other line. Obviously 1080p can display the most info on the screen at once. Pixel count is important too as those resolution measurements don't actually tell you the pixel resolution.

Not to mention that all 720p T.V.'s already play 1080i, so get a 1080p and when cable and satellite finally upgrade to 1080 p, in 3-5 years, you be up to date and won't have to purchase a new T.V. just to keep up.
