and 3 year old dvd player....

I wanted to get one of those stereos in a box with tuner, progressive dvd and 5.1 speakers,

but my dad wanted to get a upconverter dvd player,

what do you think would be better?

 

i, too, have a plasma :bowdown:

 

i heard upconverting is the shit.

 

I am still having a tough time debating between plasma and LCD. Both definitely have their pros and cons with me.

 

.

 

plasma and lcd are dead, Toshiba' new SED screens are going to blow them out of the water :happysad:

contrast ratio's of 100,000:1 and 1ms response time...those aren't typo's

 

i still think projection >*
71" tv for $4k hfawk:

 

HD DVD Players are coming out in March followed by the Blu-Ray Players.

 

Ultra HD is also coming



Forget those puny 1080p displays. If you want really high definition, check out Westinghouse's 56-inch, 3840x2160 LCD display. That's a full eight megapixels, or 4 times 1080p, for those of you doing the math at home. But don't expect to buy one of these anytime soon. The display, which will be available commercially later this year, is targeted at specialty markets that need ultra-high resolution, like the medical imaging community. Or, we assume, the mega-rich. For the record, we assume that this is actually made by Taiwan's Chi Mei, which showed a 56-inch display under its own name a few months ago, and which is a "manufacturing partner" of Westinghouse. Chi Mei was quoted as estimating that their display would go for about $10,000, so we suspect to see the Westinghouse available at a similar price point.

 

That is amazing but what consumer technology can take advantage of such a high resolution?
