Date: June 11th, 2007 9:45 AM Author: ruby juggernaut pozpig looking at a 32inch sharp aquos with 1080p....is it worth the extra 3 hundred bucks or so to get a model with 1080p? will it even matter on a tv that small? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241775) |

Date: June 11th, 2007 9:54 AM Author: ruby juggernaut pozpig the main issue is that I am going to set it up in my bedroom...which is pretty small. anything bigger than 32 inches might overwhelm such a small space (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241790) |

I have a 720p 42" plasma and I'm kind of upset when I finally get a PS3 it technically 'could' look better even though at 42" is pretty indistinguishable (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241791) |

Date: June 11th, 2007 9:52 AM Author: Razzle godawful school cafeteria Probably not for movies - but if you hook up your computer to it or plan on playing 1080p video games, then I would say yes. There are some lesser known brands with cheaper 1080p tvs (Sceptre, Westinghouse come to mind) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241787) |

Date: June 11th, 2007 9:53 AM Author: ruby juggernaut pozpig yeah, I am primarily going to be using the tv for gaming...sounds like I might be better off just paying the extra money (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241789) |

Date: June 11th, 2007 9:55 AM Author: Lascivious Maize Community Account i bought an s-video cable to use my 720p 42" plasma as a monitor and it looked like shit (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241795) |

Date: June 11th, 2007 10:02 AM Author: Razzle godawful school cafeteria what do you expect - s-video is shitty analog - hook it up through RGB VGA or DVI (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241802) |

Date: June 11th, 2007 10:03 AM Author: Lascivious Maize Community Account what’s DVI? I'm pretty sure my computer doesn't have this as an output (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241804) |

Date: June 11th, 2007 10:06 AM Author: Razzle godawful school cafeteria VGA & DVI are the two standard computer outputs - All computers must have one or the other. If your tv takes only HDMI - you can get a DVI -> HDMI cable (check ebay for cheapest price). My shitty, Syntax tv takes both DVI / VGA - so I'm guessing your plasma does too.

Date: June 11th, 2007 10:11 AM Author: Razzle godawful school cafeteria I don't really know. The old one's used to suffer from burn in - but I don't think that is the case any more. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241812) |

Date: June 11th, 2007 10:13 AM Author: Lascivious Maize Community Account I generally meant as far as resolution/picture quality. My only reason for thinking this was that laptop monitors are LCD, but this might just be a size issue. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241813) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2007 10:17 AM Author: Razzle godawful school cafeteria Oh - they are similar in quality. I think Plasma may have the edge. Everything 37" or under is LCD (I think it is just much cheaper at those sizes). Also - I believe LCD uses less power. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8241817) |

Date: June 11th, 2007 4:46 PM Author: Sienna Internet-worthy Dilemma Main People Of course it's going to look like shit. Even tiny monitors can output more than 720 lines of resolution. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8243038) |

Date: June 11th, 2007 4:53 PM Author: cowardly dark roommate property 1080p is supposedly useless unless you have a 46" or bigger, and even if that size only if you sit very close to tv (6-7 feet)...the aquos is great PQ, but lots of problems with banding on random sets..get a samsung instead if you can (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=643688&forum_id=2#8243083) |
