Hello,
I am currently thinking about buying a RP HDTV. I own a 32” Sony Trinitron that’s about 5-years old so I am thinking of upgrading. I don’t even know what formats it supports. The model I am currently looking at upgrading to is the Toshiba 42H82. However, after reading all the forums on RPTVs, it looks like these things are very high maintenance. Not just this Toshiba model, but all RPTVs. Is this true? Will I be happy owning an RPTV after having a tube TV for so long?
I have a couple of other questions. What should I be looking for in a DVD player? I don’t own a progressive scan one and obviously to take advantage of the HDTV I will need one.
Also, for Xbox owners, how do you find out if a game supports 480P, 720P, or 16x9? I know there is a section in the software forum that has a games list, but where would I find out that from the manufacturer? They don’t seem to list that in the games features. What exactly does the Xbox support anyhow?
Thanks for your advice. Lowell G.
