in Grand Turismo 4 today my friend did something now my tv reads 1080i opposed to the 480i , but in quality its a bit sharper. what the hell why can't all ps2 games do this and what other ps2 games can do hd?

I've researched this stuff months ago I know what it's all about lol, its about time they get those crappy lcds off the market . as far as I know the blue diodes in these things burn out quick which is it's only draw back for now. and even though sony is pushing it , samsung will hopefully come out on top

Im selling it to a friend for $1200.  It's in the bedroom right now tho. 

oh, and pff mind my bad manners, love the new setup bro and draw thing is really nice, :)

Samsung is introducing (finally) the LED flat panel television in its 81 series coming out this fall.  The technology supposedly eliminates all of the problems with LCD i.e. Motion blur, clouding and uneven backlighting, flashlighting, mura, pillaring, dead pixels (yeah right, I'll wait and see), banding, etc. etc. all while introducing contrast ratios of 100,000:1.  Effectively making LCD a dead technology.  They will continue to support LCD because LED is a new tech and bound to have countless problems of its own, LCD is definitely on the way out though.  As for a price drop?  I'm not sure.  Samsung has an entry level market right now (yes, 2k for a 40" 1080p LCD is entry level.)  I expect the price of their current LCD's to drop maybe 2-300 in the 40" and above class once the 71 series comes along, the 71 should retail at about 3000 for the 40" and 4000 for the 46".  Then, the 81 series will hit, the prices of the 71 will drop 2-300 and the 81 will retail at 4k for the 40" and 5000 for the 46" due to the new tech.

What does that mean for you?  Probably nothing, the price drops people are talking about are home theater LCD's, as in those above 46".  The 32" sets really have no reason to change because there is no technology worth putting in to them.  If Samsung decides to release an LNT-3271 and LNT-3281, then you will see massive pricedrops, but I doubt they would waste the technology on a size that can't use it properly.  It just doesn't make good business sense.

My advice to you would be to stop reading about LCD's, that's my problem, I bought a KDL-46XBR2 from Sony awhile back, it had a cloudy screen so I returned it and began reading...and here I am, 4 months later...no LCD...

Save up the extra cash and buy the LNT-3253H and don't look back.

what did you do with the old tv?

[QUOTE="cspiffo"]

Why do people think their tv is obsolete if they don't have HDMI Sheesh!  I don't use my HDMI for anyhing.  It is only important if, like Kodia said, you have a 1080p set.  All consumer electronics right now have the option for you to use component.  You will not see a huge difference, if at all, between HDMI or component.

I blame the PS3 for this mixup!

I know that but as I said barely anything (like upconverting dvd players) support it, and from what I see component is just as good but won't coexist in the next year or so, that's why im upset

oh yeah and does anyone know if they have external atsc tuner's available still?

do they make any rca to 3.5mm adaptors or connecters, cuz once my tv is in vga mode it only takes audio from a speaker input at the back , and not from any of my dedicated av inputs

 Comming in May, very affordable ($130 whereas I've seen other options that cost up to $290), I'll be buying one for my CRT projector if my PS3 gives me any issues playing Blu-Ray through component. If you have a VGA input you're good to go.
