recently, it look likes many members are upgrading to LCD type TV. I guess if picture quality isn\'t your concern and you like the thin backspace, then that shouldn\'t be a problem...

They did make my fave camera, the land camera, tho. So they have that going for them, which is nice.

Wish I could but I want a tv for my room. My old tv in my room is one it\'s way out.

Called walmart about this one. They said they would have them in stock in two - three weeks. Probably what I will end up getting unless I see something else.

According that link, its like it\'s a SDTV, not HDTV.

It doesn\'t mention how many resolutions there are...

But what got me convince that\'s not an HDTV is because it doesn\'t have at least a component video input or DVI/HDMI.

composite and s-video inputs doesn\'t support HD resolution...

So, if I were you, i better off getting something else that is actually an HD set with component video inputs and plus if it have DVI or HDMI.

Thanks vid. Will be ordering this one. Could have gone with a hdtv crt slim design. But I want to mount my tv on my wall to save me even more space. And with an LCD I can do that.

Post by: videoholic on March 06, 2006, 04:13:04 AM: I don\'t know much about the set, it\'s just that I would personally go with an LG or some of the better known LCD makers if I were to buy one.
