Have Sony signed up to the ZM yet? If they haven't it can't be. Also needs a good connection to rival it. My 5MB ADSL can't cope with it properly even though they advertise 4mb on tv!

Well that's good but I'm not paying $6 to watch a movie that's "as good as bluray" when Netflix ships me infinite blurays.

Some BD players decode Dolby TrueHD, in fact i think most do but some disney movies i think and others offer linear PCM and ive seen some lionsgate movies with DTS and fox as well. And i know next to nothing about sound bars but so im not sure how it would effect the audio at all but i do know one thing. When im watching a BD with Dolby TrueHD or PCM or even DTS my settingon my receiver need to change, i need to have my volume much higher because if i dont it sound too wimpy, but with it higher i can tell the difference. Honestly though, i wouldnt even bother with audio until you have a place where you can get a nice 5 speaker set up, dont listen to magnolia best buy employees, 7 channels is useless unless your living room resembles a UFC ring. This TV is one of the best especially for the price i think for the situation. Youve got 7 ports so no worries about if you ever get new systems or a receiver in the future. Plus the 24p cinema is a nice bonus for having BD. The problem with 120hz though is that it doesnt do great justice and osmetimes can cause poor image quality, sort of like how some BD's have edge enhancement than kin dof washes out the image. If youre watching nascar or even football it may benefit, but for BD's or Zune on demand i dont think it would help that much to be honest, you could probably get a better tv for cheaper without it. Also, youre right in line with 47 inches for 7-10 feet for 1080p, you should be ifne. Another thing though, that charts kind of hard to read since they have partially fille din centers, but 3-4 feet viewing distance it says youll see a big difference between 720p and 18080p so your experience is right in line with that. and 80" screen is 1440P , i dont know if youre reading the chart wrong or just slightly exaggerating, but for 10 feet a 47 inch tv will show you a difference, the charts not scientific and obviously, as long as you feel youre seeing better quality by all means go with it. |
Thank you. I was probably reading it wrong. I was trying to go from viewing distance line to screen size line, but it was sometimes hard to do since increments of 5 weren't solid lines all the way accross.
The way I was reading it was by the "full benefit of 1080p is visisble" line. At a viewing distand of 10' it says an 80" screen would be required to get "full benefit".
Hey, Steve.
Do you think you could recommend me the best option for me via the Walmart website? I was planning on using my Walmart card to get 12 months no interest on this purchase so if you could select the best TV from 46-50" range from their website that'd be great. I've owned Vizio's before, and I'm leaning towards the 47" 120hz set or maybe even 240hz set, but I wasn't sure if those TV's offered good "smooth motion" performance or if it was mostly gimic. I think they both offer a movie/cinema mode, but I could be mistaken. I haven't looked into them much lately.

I don't think so. It's part of the regular marketplace offerings, not like Netflix which is separate.

And is it avaliable in the UK too? Because if so then I might consider using it. I do have the PSN service, which is more convenient since I can also copy things to my PSP, and stream them to it too and I do like owning blu-rays.. but if I can get instant-on 1080p streaming...

That, I am not sure. I think it is available in 18 countries, so UK is probably one of them?

Most likely. Because I haven't played my 360 in several months (and don't intend to until ME 2), it isn't connected to the internet, so I can't really check. I would assume the UK would be 2nd on M$'s list of countries, it is their 2nd largest region I guess
@Steve... This is the one I was considering so far:
