Congrats :p . I've had my 42 " 1080P Sony Bravia for 18 Months now. It still amazes me :p

you've made me feel sad nao. T.T you higher end mofo. :P

lol. What make and model did you get?

Element - 32 " - 720p only had for about a 3 to 4 days.

I dont know the brand but its really nice imo. plus i heard 720p is fine for most games unless its exclusive so..

lol, cheapo.

That's a Circuit City brand HD television. Enjoy it!

:O thats just mean.....

I didn't mean it that way. I worked at CC until they closed down, so I have good history with Element.

:P thing is i didn't pay a dime, my dad did.

How is Element Outlaw? i like the name, it sounds cool, but hows the overall quality compared to other HDTV's?

Well, standalone it's not bad at all!

Do you want a real answer comparing to other HDTVs?

Yeah... >_>

It's comparable to Vizio. I'll stop there.

I just read reviews about the brand, and this quote was used the most. " In general, their features are slightly above average" so thats good enough for me imo.

Again, i didn't buy it, my dad did for me so i put out no money lol, i'll pick up a Sony for me later on down the line when i can. :P

Elements overall quality represents a good value when taking into account its price (much like Vizio as the person above stated). Longevity is what worries me with "budget" companies. Keep us posted. My Samsung 40'' LCD and I just celebrated our two year anniversary not too long ago and its still trucking. Its far outclassed by now with Samsungs amazing new TVs but thats  to be expected. Just remember: Even if you buy the best, highest end product from a recognizable brand it'll no longer be amazing comparitively within a year.

 

@Bolded 1 - So that means my HD has a higher chances of breaking then other HDTV's? :(

@Bolded 2 -  So...its damn if ya do damn if ya dont? or ... ?

 

 

Don't worry about your TVs build quality. As long as it doesnt say "Made in Taiwan" on the back you're fine. There was a budget brand, Protron, not too long ago that had cheap Taiwanese parts and after a year they all started dropping like flies. ShopNBC was promoting the brand and had to fire the guy who represented the company and face huge backlash from customers. This isnt cherry picking I swear:

And for the second thing you bolded: Its technology. Just like computers become quickly outdated, so will TVs. People will come over and the first question they ask is "Is it 1080P?" which really irritates me because it really doesnt matter until you hit 46''. Either way, an awesome TV today is an average TV tomorrow. So it goes.

@1- Ahh i see, you know you're tech lol. and i looked in the back it says "Made in China" so im in the clear of that, and i take care of all my gear so. :P

@2. lol yeah true, so 1080p doesn't matter UNTIL its above 46"? if so i'll keep that in mind when ever i go looking for a 1080 HD'er.

Yeah under 46'' doesnt matter unless you sit like 3 feet away from the TV, which imo is insane for some neck strain (oh yay a rhyme). Pixel density is just too much at smaller sizes to tell a big enough difference to justify the cost.

Mmm i see, thanks for all the info man!

Btw, how would a PS2 fair on an HDTV? i still have a slim model from around when they first came out, and still have alot of games i'd like to play on it, even though my PS3 has backwards its HD only imo, same goes for the 360.

I heared somewhere lastgen consoles FUCK up HDTV's but how can that be? when so many people who own the Wii also have HDTV's.. (as stupid as that is since wii is SD -_-)

Anyways, I'm also in the market for an HDTV as well. I'm willing to spend at most $500 or even a few bucks more on one. The size has to be about 26'', be able to display high quality picture (720p at least) and is usable as a PC monitor.

Thanks

 

32 inch panasonic hdtv 720p it looks as good as the samsungs but 50 bucks cheaper!

oh yeah 499$!

Congrats on your purchase! I've got a 32" Phillips LCD in my (and my wifes) room connected to a Bose 321 surround system, but my babies are in my living room, a 50" Panasonic Viera Plasma screen connected to a 650 watt Yamaha surround sound system. and yes, a Wii in each room (I do my gaming on Wii). Thinking about getting a PStriple pretty soon though. (when it comes down in price)

Last gen consoles don't mess up HDTVs, the games for them just look incredibly crappy on them. Since SDTV = ~300,000 pixels and your TV has close to 1,000,000 pixels, this means that each pixel will have to be stretched to fit the new resolution. It will stretch further if its not meant for widescreen and you can't set a letterbox option. So no, they will not mess up your TV. They will just look like dirt on it.

 

The PS3 does an admirable job at upscaling, though. Doesn't look too bad, just mediocre.
