just a tip for anyone looking to buy an lcd/plasma : check out http://www.drplasma.com they have cheap prices, no sales tax, and free shipping. i've gotten a tv from as have a few of my coworkers and we're all very happy with them.

and the xbox does do 1080p now (the games are actually upconverted, not native) with the fall update. it looks gorgeous on my 40" samsung.

DLP / rear projection / projectors all go though the same thing.


Plasma and LCD don't experience this, but cost upwards of $3,000 @ 52in.
And the LCD projection/DLP sets have better picture quality.

that's on the to-do list ... sometime.





sometime = whenever I find a REALLY good deal I can't pass up.



Right now, I just have 2 tall speakers (3 speakers in each tower) running to a simple 5.1

Why do the PS3 demo stands play at edit:720?
Fight night it 1080p is ridiculous.

I want to see MotorStorm and NCAA 08 in 1080p

PS3 demo stands use a 23 inch monitor I believe. I'm willing to bet money that there's not a 1080p, 23in monitor in production.

It's a good time to purchase a 720p large screen TV. Stores are making room for the new 1080p sets coming out this year. This is the year of the 1080p.

Agreed.

I can't wait for the Pioneer Elite to get here....

And I just finished some new speaker prototypes, might see if they are good or not in my living room. You know, proof of concept of course.

Compared to the 360 version it fails.

bah they should use a bigger tv then
Looks clean as a jewel to me

Of course, Talledega Nights is teh hotness of Blu-Ray. I can pretty much quote something from the movie in any situation in life. My gf is getting sick of it

You saw the 360 in 1080i and the ps3 in 720p?

If so, please, please see the ps3 in 1080p. I have never, ever seen clarity like it. Even the logos were completely sharp, not pixelated at all.

:edit:

n/m

I suck at life

I so want to get a new TV for my new condo, but I'm about 6-9 months from shelling out on one. I want to get the whole setup, stand, surround sound, and a 42"+ TV. I'm starting to think I should just get a 50"+
