I actually have the older model of the samsung before they went to slim fit, it is a 27'' and the picture is absolutely great, but it does weigh a ton and moving around can be very troublesome. I am shopping also for a larger screen tv , but i havent seen anything that can match the PQ of the crt hdtv's...
Hi, I have a 27'' Samsung crt HDTV, bought it back in 04, the picture looks great, xbox 360 looks great. The television accepts DVI/and Component hi-def input only which is cool, since i dont have any systems that require hdmi, but i may in the future. The TV tops off at 1080i, which is cool for me because I love the picture quality this tube puts out. Better than any lcd or DLP i have seen. But I have recently moved into a new apt and would like spruce up the living room and get a 40'' - 46'' television that will be able to give just as good a picture as the crt hdtv. I mainly watch pbs, movies, and videogame on my current television so I hd tuners, and cable cards arent necessary. On my current crt everything is anti aliased perfectly, deep blacks and rich colors. At my job we have a 50' view sonic 720p (1366x768) lcd and i tried my xbox 360 on it and noticed that the colors seemed washed out and although there was anti-aliasing, the objects had a noticeable jaggedness to them, something that never occurred on my crt. That experience left a bad impression for me and LCD's so i am considering looking for a plasma television, but I'm not sure will those also have the same out come. I m not totally sure what maximum resolution my current crt goes to, I know it can display 720p, 1080i, through a dvi port and component inputs. But I m thinking maybe my crt hdtv has a lower resolution, which allows the xbox 360 to render much better with out sacrificing anti aliasing, while viewing xbox360 through higher res televisions/displays causes it to drop the quality to keep the frame rate up. Aside from rambling, my question is: 1. Do Plasma and LCD's provide the same PQ when hi def gaming? 2. Has anyone noticed jaggedness in xbox 360 gaming through LCD's or Flat panels? 3. Is there a big difference in 1024x768, plasma PQ when gaming vs. the now higher res plasma's?
