| ookaze said: Of course plasmas are still far better than LCD. The only advantage of LCD is the price with small sizes. As soon as you start entering big sizes (50+"), there is no price advantage anymore. But the best plasmas are expensive (we're talking 6000 € tax included here). That's what I will replace my current HDTV with when it dies, but there's no way I'll put so much money in a TV, so the price will have to go down. Also, you can start referencing all the bad HDTV in this thread. Just asks every one that says SD looks bad on his HDTV which one he got: that's a HDTV model you can avoid right away. The electronics in the TV is what decides a huge part of the quality of the image output. A good HDTV should be able to enhance any SD source and make it look as good or better than on SDTV, not worse. On mine, every Wii games looks fantastic, as do GC games, the image was actually enhanced. That's the same part that will decode 1080i and decide if 1080i@60 gets you 30 frames or 60 frames. LCD being cheap, they nearly never output SD correctly, having very bad circuitry in most cases, and poorer images. That's not even taking into account the inferior technology problems. But a forum like AVS can show you this. Perhaps when my HDTV dies, HDTV techs will be more mature than the mess they are now, where you have to put 6000 € in a TV for it to be decent (as my HDTV model is discontinued, unfortunately). |
IM in total agreement, but id still rahter use my old SD tv for viewing dvds. They look better on the tube then my sony LCD, but im using xbox on the lcd for movie viewing and it upscales like crap
