The last TV I bought was a 12" tube so I could play my Wii at work.

I don't plan on buying an HDTV anytime soon.

I don't have one either, and I probably won't get one for quite a while.

nah, not 1080p......bought it (last year) before that was even getting big.  But after reading about the miniscule differences in 1080p vs. 1080i/720p I can say I'm not too dissapointed.

I just dropped a grand on my new Widescreen 30'' PC/TV monitor. Its so pretty, and STALKER in widescreen while watching CNN in the PIP window is freaking hoss. Behold, WOW in HDMI 1900X1200 resolution on a mega TV. It can be done. It has been done.

And how much are you going to spend from now on video cards so your games aren't a slide show? That's great and all, but we know you're going to try and bash console lovers and rub your PC in their faces.

I had no such intention. Theres a 360 sitting right behind the monitor on the second tier of my desk. I was just showing how beautiful PC games look on a widescreen television through HDMI.

No. And I do not see myself owning one in the foreseeable future until their prices match those of present-day CRT SDTV's.foxhound_fox

I only have a 15' inch tv. But i play my consoles on my mac monitor to solve the problem of the big screen (luckily almost no delay at all, but the flicker of the interlaced images is quite annoying).
Not interested in an HDTV for now (tooooooo expensive)

14" SDTV:D....:(Ogloff

lol same :)

I'll start using my main TV which is about 21" once I get a new one (possibly HD).  BTW, even on a tiny SDTV, the difference between current and last gen graphics is still very noticeable.

I've got it running through the computer monitor at the moment, but that still isn't a substitute for what a proper HDTV panel would give me. At the moment I'm about 3/4 saved up for a 50" 1080 LCD panel. Running a new gen game on SD just doesn't do it justice. Play Oblivion on SD and then HD and you'll see the need to upgrade.

I don't have HD, not because I can't afford it, but because I just don't want it. My 28" tube suits me just fine.

HDTV won't cost more than $2300 I guess (well, not for those top ones)

since it's reasonable, why not getting one ?

TyrantDragon55

How is that reasonable? With that money I could get a PS3 and a bunch of games. Or a truck full of games for my 360. Or build a top of the line PC. Of pay for a semester of college.

You get what you pay for thats why. I think its worth it...  

To each there own I guess. I've played Gears on my friend's HDTV and I honestly do not see how anyone can say it's worth that much money.

The first time I saw Gears on a 42 inch HDTV I knew I was going to get one.

[QUOTE="DementedDragon"]Still trying to decide on which type of HDTV I would like to buy.DementedDragon

To save you time, go pick up Sony 40" XBR2

I heard the XBR2 is one of the best HDTVs out there, if only it weren't so expensive. :?



Go with the Sony KDL-40V2500.  It outputs the same picture quality as the XBR2 and it's like $300 cheaper.  You can buy one on Amazon.com right now for $1780 with free shipping.

75cm SDTV here, and quite old I guess. Gonna buy some big ass HDTV soon, but those things are still way too expensive. At least here in Croatia.

When Crysis comes, wanna hook up 8800GTX onto something bigger and better than the 21'' CRT :-P

There you go.  Even among gamers, HDTVs are a rarity.  Including HD compatability was just ahead of its time.

Well, we're (HDtv peoples) just above a third.  But, as this is a gaming forum, I'd say among actual gamers it's probably 1/2 to 2/3 of that 37% total.  Like 20%?
