New TV Question
I figured this fit better here then OOT due to my playing more games then anything else on my TV. Right now i have an Emerson 32" 720P LCD, its a great bargain HDTV and i am really happy with it. However, i feel like i could do a little bigger for the living room. So i am thinking of moving the 32" Emerson upstairs and putting the 26" Westinghouse in storage until we get a house or selling it.
Right now Sears has a 42" Hitatchi 1080i/720P Plasma for like 600 and some change after some deals until Weds. I am really thinking of getting this, the only thing that has stopped me is the lack of 1080P obviously. The reviews very well, and it seems to be quality. I guess i just want to see if you guys think its worth getting this or just wait a year or two until 1080P comes down in price. Here is the link... http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...2&sLevel=0 Any questions, shoot. |

Re: New TV Question
Seems mediocre at worst. 1080p isn't worth waiting for on a 42" TV.

Re: New TV Question
The vast majority of games are not (and will not be) native 1080p this generation, meaning you will see no actual difference - just upscaling. I went through this same decision myself pretty recently. Ended up going with a 720p for less than 1/3rd the cost of a comparable 1080p. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
1080p's just not worth it unless you are really into HD-DVD/blu-ray but even then, you're not going to see a major difference on a 42" TV if you're sitting more than a few feet away from the set. |

Re: New TV Question
I have that TV - paid 800 something a few months back. I have been very happy with it.

Re: New TV Question
When the source does become mostly 1080p, will it still look great in 720p?
I have an Xbox 360 HD-DVD Drive if it helps. |

Re: New TV Question
4 High, why not just drop by Best Buy or somewhere with demos setup? You can see what it looks like for yourself. But yes, it will still look great in 720p.

Re: New TV Question
Well i actually work at Sears, thus how i know about it. It doesn't look that good to be honest, but every single review i have read has said it looks amazing in home, so much better then compared to the store. Normally i would shrug this off, but literally every review i read raved about in home picture and also eh'd at the in store picture. We have it set up using some crappy Coaxial cables and its also been bumped around a ton and its settings are probably messed with, so using the in store model as a demo prolly isn't that good of an idea.
For 600 and change i think its worth it, i guess im just doing some internal debating. |

Re: New TV Question
Says it costs 775...what deals are you using to get it down to 600+?
I assume they have to do with you working there but if not then let me (us) know. |

Re: New TV Question
They have a deal going where if you apply for a Sears card in store you get a 10% off pass for 3 days. Then i get 10% off for working there. Which brings to like 630 plus tax.
