Dear Sheep, Buy a Better TV

[QUOTE="Mario1331"]

there no standard to hd, its superficial i.e something the general consesus believes it is which are ALL OPINIONS. HD is anything 720 and up. theres no such thing as "true hd".

It seems SW has a term for everything thats irrelevent

Wow. Do you actually own an HDTV/LCDTV at all?

The difference between 720p and 1080p is noticable. It's not just an image blown up. It literally packs alot more detail. It is definitely true HD, especially when watching movies.

didnt say it wasnt noticeable but "true hd" is something unofficial and made up. sure i like 1080p and i believe it should be the standard but theres no form or anythig saying 1080p is "true hd"

Whatever.

I don't think I could buy a better TV if I wanted to. Firstly because CRTs are inherently better than LCDs and I have a very nice HD CRT. Secondly because my CRT is so massive that I couldn't get it out of my basement if I tried. If only it was a little bigger and did 1080p rather than just 720p/1080i...

[QUOTE="locopatho"] Is the WiiU a next gen console, coming out 7 years after the 360? Yes, it is. Why are you happy with Nintendo barely matching last gen machines :?

I really don't care about the specs of the console because I think they are decent.I only have a 720P tv.

Today we have confirmation from one of your standardbearers that he doesn't know what he's talking about. If you're going to insist that it's not a big deal if 720p 30fps is the standard output for Wii U games, you should experience 1080p 60fps before you deride it as a "slight improvement."

Here's a 40" 1080p TV for $350:

While you're at it, ditch those composite cables for HDMI.

I shudder to think that some of you are Wii-only and game at 480i.

P.S. Some of you should get some f-ckin' glasses!

The day consolites factor thier $1000 Tvs into the price of a console is the day I buy a $2000 TV.

I game just fine with my wii on my CRT TV and my 360 and and PC on my 1050p monitor(not 1080 unfortunately_)

and LOL ?DYNEX? WTF IS THAT GARABGE?

darkdude2k12

Wow. Is it still 2006 in your world or what?

HDTV's in 1080p are NOT nearly 1000 dollars unless someone wants to be a complete douche and buy the most expensive brand which would be the same as any brand HDTV; of course considering the difference of refresh rate and such.

You're getting the PC gaming world confused with the real world once again; which is typical of hermit mentality.

And if you're gaming just fine on your CRT playing Wii...well...Duh! Wii's only 480p with tricks to upscale it to 1080i. This would mean that on a CRT, it would be right at home and even better in progressive scan mode.

The difference between CRT and HDTV gaming is a huge leap.

Will any projector work for console gaming or do you need a high end one(I know nothing on the subject)?

Any projector will do gaming perfectly. I normally recommend the Optoma HD20 sub-$1000 projector, it arguably has the best bang for buck picture (picture size + picture quality vs price = HD20 trumhs nealy anything). I'm sure $500-900 projectors that are 720p will give you a decent gaming experience but the ~ $1000 HD20 is your best bet IMO. Of course, the more you spend, the better and more epic your experience. I've never had a friend over who hasn't dropped their jaw after seeing the opening seen of The Dark Knight on blu-ray on my 100 inch screen lol.

Bowers & Wilkins DM 685 front channel speakers.. rest of my 7.1 surround consists of the KEF KHT 3005 package.

Minus the Yamaha, because I have a Denon AVR 1911 receiver:

I'm assuming you asked me what I was using. But if you're asking for advice on what speakers I recommend I could suggest a few if given a budget.

Oh and when it gets late I use my Denon AH-D5000 headphones:

$1000?? How about about $20 that's how much I payed for a Sony Trinitron 34" 1080i Widescreen HD CRT fantastic image quality better then pretty much any lcd t.v insane price to performance going on here! Altough yeah for buying brand new t.vs $1000 seems about right where the real bang for you buck plasma are priced at.

Zombies are fine for game enemies. Not for thread bumps.
