No one is chiming in because no one wants to help poor, little me. :frowning:

So, if I had a 19" standard 4:3 monitor with a resolution of 1280x1024, would I be able to display HDTV on it?

What do you guys think of this? http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...=19&l=en&s=dhs

Hey guys and gals, You are the most knowledgable on the net about TVs and the like, which is why I am turning to everyone here. What would be a good LCD monitor to get to be used as my HDTV and computer monitor at the same time? I'm looking in the sub $1000 range. I want a DVI input on it...

I am in the market for a new PC monitor/TV. This one seems amazing! http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...022-001&depa=0 and: http://www.syntaxusa.com/catalog/pro...products_id=97 Now, I can get this for about $900 through the company I work for (with discounts for working for them)...

If you use an S-video or component cable does it use up all the 525 lines or still just 480?

Isn't a normal Non-HDTV 530 lines of resolution? If so, why is it measured in 480? Like, 480i?

>>Well, I'm partial to this one myself http://www.zektor.com/hds4/index.htm IR remote controllable and will switch digital and analog audio as well. Plus it has a much higher bandwidth than the Audio Authority swither. I've still got one of those Sima switches laying around somewhere. I found...

Thanks a lot you guys. :emoji_thumbsup:

Do you have any links to these products you speak of? Thanks! :emoji_thumbsup:

I need a component switcher to hook up my PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and Progressive DVD player. I'm getting an HDTV soon and I really really need a switch box since the TV only has 2 component inputs and I have four machines. Any switch box thing out there that will let me use the progressive scan...

Budunk-bump. Is it worth it? :D

No I'm pretty sure it was just regular cable. I've talked to the people before and the only HDTVs they have at my Best Buy on an HD signal are the plasma TVs for some reason. :frowning: But anyway the TV I was looking at was the Toshiba 34" direct view HDTV. It has DVI. Anyone here recommend it?

Question here: Let's say I have a widescreen HDTV. And I use regular analog broadcasting (read: cable). Now, when a show says that it's broadcasted in widescreen high definition (such as Malcom in the Middle) does that mean I would still get the picture in widescreen with a standard cable...

That better not be true :frowning:

For videogames I'd go with a direct view. I played my GameCube in progressive scan on my neighbors 55" Mits and it looks very bad, even on PS. It was a devastating blow to me, because I was considering an RPTV for my next purchase, but am now going to get a direct view solely because of games...

I have no idea what you're talking about....

Just use the phythagorean theorum: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Dammit, I still can't decide. Now I see this Toshiba 42H82 that displays 720p signals and it has caught my eye. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I'm so lost I'm going to cry.

Well, who knows. But it's easier to save up for something if I know what I'm saving up for. It's substantive motivation.

After all the long searching and whatnot, debate between direct view and rear projectors, price concerns, and everything else that can possibly fall in between said categories, I think I have finally decided on which TV set to get: Panasonic CT-30WX52 Link Removed Right now the price is...

Holy crap that home theater is classy as hell! Nice job!!:emoji_thumbsup: :D

Allan, that link you showed me is scaring me into not getting a new tv. :frowning:

Because my flat screen direct view 27" Toshiba has hella geometry problems. No matter how much I tweak the service menu, I still can't get it to display any straight vertical or horizontal lines. Is this a problem with RPTVs too? And why the hell can't companies make TVs that display straight...

What is this Avia thing you guys are talking about? And how to I get it? And, seriously, thanks a MILLION for the replies. VERY HELPFUL!

I have a 27" flat screen Toshibia analog TV and a Philips Q35 Progressive scan DVD player hooked up to it with an RCA-brand S-video cable. For some reason in bright scenes I've noticed that the picture flickers on DVDs. It happened in Monsters Inc. and I thought it was just the movie. But now...

One more quick question. Some games run in 480p but not 16:9 widescreen. That means they'd run in 4:3. And since people tell me to run every signal in stretch mode if its not inherintly widescreen to avoid burn in from the vertical bars on the side, would that squish games that run in 4:3? A...

So in other words I should go for it? ;)

I'm VERY interested in getting this TV as well. How would you rate it overall? Worth the, roughly, $1600? How's the picture on regular cable? And is the stretch mode for 4:3 signals any good? Thanks. ;)

I made a similar topic like this in the TV forum, but I wanted a good solid opinion from people who play games a lot. No doubt some of you play games on RPTVs (rear projection) that are HD compatable. I'm thinking of getting a 42" samsung HDTV that's a rear projector, but I hear that playin...
