[QUOTE="BrettB7400"]

If you're going to buy a new tv, why not wait until black friday. There are going to be some sweet deals on hd tvs.

JoKeR_421

yea wait till black friday, here wal-mart has a 40 inch sony bravia for $649.99! by the way dont worry about the 1080p if ur tv is less than 40in, u wont notice any difference between 720p and 1080p on a 32in. so get the sony one if i was u, if u want a 1080p tv its best to get it 40in or more



And yet another one, please read my posts in this thread on the subject to see how wrong that is.

How much is your budget? I think if your going to spend money on a tv, you might as well spend a little more and get a 1080p.

Brainhunter

My budget only around $500, I could possibly go higher but I'm trying to stay around $500.

Stick to your budget, as your options keep getting progressively more difficult the more you climb up the ladder. I do not recommend getting a 1080p monitor at anything below a 40" screen : the increased resolution does not benefit small screen sizes, and you still end up paying a fair premium for it. Under 40", 720p is sufficient, especially since most retail PS3 games only render at 720p native, and since you intend to use this TV exclusively for your PS3 experience.



Another one.

1080p is 1080p which is 1920 x 1080 and will always be 1920 x 1080, this doesnt change due to screen size. A 22" 1080p TV will be the same as a 60" 1080 TV, resolution is fixed and is the same amout of pixels. You just need to sit closer to the smaller TV to be able to see 1080p. I wish this myth with go, its totally wrong.

CHECK slickdeals dude. lots of tvs for your budget, especially with BF right around the corner. honestly i dont think anything under 42 inches needs to be 1080p. color accuracy and b&c ratios are more important than resolution.



Nothing needs to be 1080p. But 1080 under 42" is the same as 1080p over 42", there is no difference.

Here's what I dug up:

Sony Bravia

LG

Vizio

Those are much better alternatives to those that you listed (30,000:1 and 50,000:1 contrast rations instead of a measly 6500:1 :P)

I think you should do some research, especially for the models that I listed and perhaps some others. You don't want to go out and spend $500 on a TV, only to realize that you could've bought something much better somewhere else. Also note that on Amazon, you don't pay tax.

You will probably find that those 30,00:1 contast ratiosn are the same as the 6500:1. Contrast ratios are are measured differently and there is no right one they use. You need to find the static contrast ratio.

At the size your looking at the 1080p isn't gonna make much of a difference if any. 1080p really doesn't look much different than 720p until the TV size reachs about 40 inchs then as the size goes up the differences show up more.jimm895


Thats totally false and a myth.

1080p is 1080p which is 1920 x 1080 and will always be 1920 x 1080, this does not change due to screen size. resolution is fixed. A 22" 1080p TV will look the same as a 60" 1080p TV (taking away all other varibles) if both are viewed from the correct distance. Both TV's would have the same amount of pixels, you would just need to sit closer to the22" TV to notice the difference. Trying to offer advice on resolution is pretty foolish when you dont know the viewing distance.

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.

[QUOTE="Myzz617"]

If it was something I really care about i would go above and some trying to prove a point to you. Yes you are correct viewing distance does matter but yet you make it seem that 1080P is Identical across all monitor screen sizes in which I have debated in several aspects it is not..1080P may be the same in the end but the quality of which the image is displayed does vary. We strayed so far off topic which is why I have given up in "debating"..

Myzz617



Right, we are getting there a bit.

Do you agree that your statement when quoting someone about 720p and 1080p was wrong? Here it is -

"Thats because the res on smaller tv's you wont notice much difference"

Forget about other varibles, we were not talking about anything else other than resolution. How you come to the conclusion 1080p is better through larger screens when you admit 1080 is the same in the end is beyond me and it shows how jumbled up your argument is basically because you dont want to admit your wrong.

1080p is 1080p which is 1920 x 1080 and will always be 1920 x 1080. So how you come to the conclusion that resolution on smaller TV's wont be as good as you wont see much difference is pretty stupid when resolutions are fixed and will look the same regardless, you just adjust your viewing distance.



Did you not read the quote before i said that? He said 720p vs 1080P on tv's smaller than 32in there is not much difference. I meant to agree with what he said basically and go on to say 1080P on my 46in is lovely coming from a 32in samsung with 1080i/p. Resolutions are "fixed" but whether a T.V's native res is 1080P is another story. Some Tv's say 1080P capable some clearly say that 1080P is their native res. Just because the resolution is FIXED does not mean that is what your going to get, When I play COD4 or Socom comfrontation it always goes back to 720P unless I change it in my display settings by unchecking 720P than the native resolution kicks in and it plays at 1080P. All the other "variables" play a role in the image quality you get from whatever specific resolution you have is what i am saying. Hope that clears it for YOU!!!



Head, wall, I hear banging.

Please stop confusing things, stop with other varibles, stop with he said that, just stop and listen.

Did you or did you not say -

"Thats because the res on smaller tv's you wont notice much difference"

Can you or can you not admit to that being wrong.

The resolution of a TV or monitor does not change due to size. The difference between 720p and 1080p is the same at 22" as it is at 60" What dont you get about that? Its simple. 1080p on a smaller screen has the pixels closer togther hence why you need to sit closer, but its still the same as 1080p at 60", just the pixels on that are spread further apart, hence you need to sit further away. Its the same amount of pixels on the screen, so how on earth can there be a difference.

And you said I was clueless because I had low level and posts, your something else my friend, you seriously are if you cant grasp that.

I would also like to add that a 1920 x 1080 TV displaying a 720p game would be outputting at 1920 x 1080 anyway unless the game is cropped (borders att he edges). When playing COD4 on The PS3, the PS3 is sending the resolution of the game, 720p to the Tv which says its displaying 720p, but infact if its not cropped, then the TV is displaying its native resolution and doing the upscalling of the game.

[QUOTE="Myzz617"] Ride his wagon if you want but VIEWING distance alone does not make the ONLY difference in image quality. Plus im sure shawty knows how to talk to people now after ranting and name calling.

I never said it does, your debating skills are weak. Please find a quote of where I said viewing distance alone is the only difference in image quality. We are and always were talking about resolutions until you couldnt admit you were wrong and tried to change the argument.

Im not name calling you at all, I really do think about you in what I said if this is what you believe. And to think that you said I didnt know what I was talking about because of my level and post count is laughable with some of the stuff you come out with.

Wrong. 1080p is just the same at 22" as it is at 60". Your 46" 1080p TV will look no different to any other 1080p TV be it 22" or 60" (taking out all other variables). Resolution is fixed, it doesnt change because the screen size is smaller. Viewing distance is what matters.

I'm with shawty on this one.

once you have experienced playing in HD tv, it will be pretty hard to go back to SD.

you can still enjoy playing games on your SD tv. the only difference will be the scaled down graphics and text harder to read. the graphics will look like something thats only a bit better than ps2.

you will have to buy a HD tv one day or another, so let it be now. 1080i if you want to be futureproof. you will enjoy it even more visually.

chaisemon



The grpahics are no where near PS2 graphics.
