...My brother has a 32" and it honestly looked a little small in my room (my house used to have a mini-room next to my room a while ago and they just made it one big room).....

that\'s where I got it from. Your very first post.

the glass on plasmas, it shouldn\'t be a problem if you place the tv where it shouldn\'t reflect light too much like light coming from the windows and stuff...just control room lighting and you should get a really good picture. Even LCD screen reflects light, and you still have to control room lighting to get a better picture. So, I don\'t think it should be a problem with plasmas.

Check this one out:

But of course, its your choice. Go with LCD if you think it looks better. But LCDs that look decent such as from samsung and sony are a bit pricey compare to Plasmas of similiar size. So, its decisions...decisions...decisions...

Hard to explain with the glossiness that bugs me on the plasmas. Its more than just light reflecting off of it, even then i think its worse than LCD\'s. They were both in the same section and lighting in the store and even then i noticed it on the plasma

The 32" hdtv was my brothers but he moved to tuscon with the air force. Probably shouldve mentioned that. So i dont have an HDTV anymore.

okay, tell us when you buy a new hdtv and give us a review of what you think of it would be nice.

I decided on http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LNS4051D-Wide-Integrated-Tuner/dp/B000ELOQS2.

Looks great and dont have any buyers remorse at all.

Im still trying to figure out how to get 720p instead of 1080i though.

Paul2 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 08, 2007, 09:07:46 PM »

what do you mean how to get 720p instead of 1080i? That tv you listed is a 768p tv, which if receive a 720p signal, it will upconvert to 768p, if detected a 1080i signal i guess it will do both deinterlacing and downconvert to 768p too. If the tv have a good scaler, upconverting or downconverting to 768p should still look good with no artifacts or too much softness.

i thought it was just 720p native..didnt even know there was a 768p

i havent looked too in depth besides skimming around, but my digital box always says 1080i, and already 720p with games looked better..so id like to get my channels that way too

Paul2 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 09, 2007, 12:28:32 AM »

using your digital box remote control, check around the "setup" menu and see if there is an option for resolution output. Like output 1080i to 720p, and leave 720p as is...

if there isn\'t, that should be no problem since i think that 768p hdtv should accept 1080i and deinterlace it and downscale it to 768p.

why LCD?

it won\'t even do 1080i

Viper_Fujax · « **Reply #38 on:** February 09, 2007, 12:43:39 PM »

because im weird.

I looked at all the tv\'s with the same DVD on (something with christian bale) and it looked the best to me.

I figure fuck what other people think as long as it looks good to me.

plus its relative to the set what res looks good. it has 1080i but 720p looks great on it. Going to have to wait till the one above 1080p for me to notice the difference enough to spend the extra money on it

« **Reply #39 on:** February 09, 2007, 12:46:37 PM »

good enough

Paul2 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 09, 2007, 08:12:38 PM »

Again, pretty much most 720p and 768p support 1080i signal, meaning it supports that signal but it will downscale and deinterlace back to 768p or 720p or whichever resolution is the tv\'s native. so it should be no problem if the source is really 1080i.

Need some people\'s opinions.

Are monster cables worth it? I bought some the day i got the tv, but the dude gave me some monster cables with an optic audio cable, even though i dont have a receiver (and i dont want to buy one right now) and im going to return it. So should i get monster cables without the optic audio cable (can always buy that separate if i get surround sound)?

Also, I have a VGA plug (from when i played my 360 through the pc monitor) but i have to screw around with the settings in my xbox.

So is it worth going through the settings and using my VGA\'s, using the component cables that came with the premium 360, or buy monster cables?

you\'re so funny omg

Viper monster is the bose of cables. In other words most the money you spend on Monster products goes towards the name opposed to the quality. For the same amount of money monster charges, you could buy better quality cables by another company.
