what tv do you have now?

Jorge

I personally would have a smaller TV with a good picture than a larger TV with a picture that looks like a 1st grade student drew.

the bigger the better.....

unless you are just choosing between a 30 and a 32 for example... if it is for 2-4 inches, I'll get the better image, but if you find a deal for a bigger one, like if you are between a nice picture 32 inch and a ok 37, I'll get the 37

Well i had a 17" phillips LCD EDTV, and i just sold it on ebay for $250 (i made $20, i bought it for $230 a few months ago)

Now im using crappy trutech 15" 4:3 LCD SDTV, that i bought 2 years ago, which is better then the 13" tube tv i had before that

So i dont really need that big of a tv because its just going to be a bedroom tv

Aim for some of these.

Sceptre X37SV-Komodo 37" LCD TV

* Has a built-in ATSC digital tuner
* HDMI/DVI with HDCP
* 1000:1 contrast ratio
* 8ms response time
* 1366 x 768 (WXGA) - 1080p through HDMI

Sceptre's X37SV-Komodo is a 37" LCD TV that seems to have every feature you could ask for in a TV. It can show images up to 1080p through the HDMI cable and it has a built-in digital/analog tuner. It has DMI and DVI with HDCP copyright protection. The contrast ratio and response time are consistent with other LCD TVs.

LG Electronics M3701C-BA 37" LCD Display

* Does not have a built-in ATSC digital tuner
* 1600:1 contrast ratio
* 8ms response time
* DVI and Component inputs
* 1366 x 768 (WXGA) resolution

This is a nice-looking LCD TV from LG Electronics that has DVI with HDCP (DVI can connect to HDMI components with an adapter). LG lists the contrast ratio as 1600:1 but I saw it for 1200:1 at Pricegrabber. The bottom line is that it's pretty good. The specs are all comparable to other models in this price range. The only downside is the lack of a built-in digital tuner.


ViewSonic N3751w 37" LCD TV

* Has a built-in ATSC digital tuner
* 1000:1 contrast ratio
* 8ms response time
* Three HDMI with HDCP inputs
* 1366 x 768 (WXGA) resolution

ViewSonic makes computer monitors so you have to believe they know a thing or two about LCD displays. This patricular television looks interesting. For starters, the N3751w has three HDMI inputs with HDCP. The picture enhancement technology is called ClearPicture, so basic cable/satellite should look pretty good. The other specifications mimic other models within this category.

I'm aiming for a 37' TV...the problem though is that I'm afraid that my parents are going to claim it as their own tv and when I'm ready to move out or w/e that it won't be coming along for the trip....but yeah all in all I'm not going to sacrifice quality for a lower price. Not in this day and age.

This looks like a nice product though...I'd definitely buy it in a heartbeat.

Can someone please explaim to me VGA vs HDMI vs Component. I know component cables are pretty good according to most people. Which out of the three is the BEST? What do the letters stand for?

spicka

Thanks For all this info but, i want something in the 23-2 inch range, its for my room, which isnt that big

LOL That is wrong in every sense.

LG makes a good TV without the hefty price tag. Another thing that you might want to look at is the number and type of inputs.

Don't be fooled by the 37" Sceptre TV posted recently. If the TV is 1366 x 768 the maximum resolution you will see is 720p. It will not show 1080p even through HDMI.

What's up people. I'm in a bit of a quandary here so I will get right to the point.
720p or 1080p? then LCD or plasma?
I was looking at plasma but plasma burn in was a big turn off. LCD response time is going to be an issue for me since it will primarily be used for games. Would there be a big difference between 8ms and 5ms? Thanks.

If you are looking to buy a new TV for video games plasma probably isn't the best because of burn in. Alot of new TVs won't get it as easily and have settings to correct it, but it will still be a problem. Though for a larger TV (42"+) plasma will be cheaper.

Going with 720p right now is not a bad decision. Nothing is broadcast in 1080p. The only thing you will be able to view in FullHD is a PS3, Blu-ray movie, or HDDVD. 1080p sets are expensive right now, in 2 or 3 years when 1080p becomes more common the prices will drop.

Response time will only be a problem if you choose to go with a small LCD. Common flat panel sizes will mostly be 4ms.

Consider these when choosing a TV:
Size of TV
Lighting in the room (windows or a generally bright room)
Primary use of TV (which you have already stated is gaming)

I'm looking at the Sharp Aquos 32" LCD HDTV (LC32D62U). Here's the stats:
32" duh, 2000:1, 1920x1080, 1080p, 6ms, Standard TV tuner, 2 HDMI, 3 composite, 1 Svideo, 1 optical out.
There's NO PC, RF, or DVI inputs. Also NO HD tuner.
I'm going to use it for games but it has no HD tuner and I want to use it to well...WATCH TV at some point! There's no RF, which isn't a big deal since it's an antiquated interface, but most TVs come with it. Anyways, main gripe= no HD tuner. It's about US$1500

I'm almost positive that TV has an HD tuner.

Circuit Town says that it's not included and CeeNet says yes. It may be useless to ask the TV "experts" at my local Circuit Town for help. Anyway, thanks for your input. Who would think that buying a good TV would be such a pain in the ass.
