    SD picture on an HD display... how bad will it be?

    Thanks Marty, I have no doubt that HD signals are MUCH better quality than SD signals on your new SXRD. What I'm most interested in is how does the SD on your SXRD compare to the same SD on your CRT that was replaced? Thanks

    SD picture on an HD display... how bad will it be?

    Thanks Chris... that's just it, I don't really care what DVD looks like. I'm most interested in SD cable PQ.

    SD picture on an HD display... how bad will it be?

    What I'm really interested in would be SD cable. Straight from the coax, I'd put the PQ of my XBR250 up against anything. I'm spoiled with such a great picture that I'm afraid the SXRD will have worse PQ with the exact same connections etc. It's frustrating because the three dealers I've been...

    SD picture on an HD display... how bad will it be?

    Hi Chris... I am assuming that since the XBR is designed for SD that it would do a better job than the SXRD which is designed for HD when displaying SD programming. I have a very good Comcast signal so that shouldn't be a problem. Seems like I've read many times where HD TVs just don't do a very...

    SD picture on an HD display... how bad will it be?

    I currently have a 36" Sony KV-36XBR250 and I love the picture I get from my SD Comcast cable. I don't use a box just standard coax straight to the TV. I'm really itching to buy a new 50" Sony SXRD but I'm real concerned about how the SD picture quality will be. Even if I go with the Comcast HD...

    Need your opinions on a Sony KDS-50A2000

    Thanks for the quick reply! I've only got room for a 50" display so it looks like the 60" is out. That's a shame since you mention the upconverting software is better on the 60" XBR. By the way, do you have to upconvert? Is there a setting to turn it off? Thanks

    Need your opinions on a Sony KDS-50A2000

    Saw one today at Best Buy and thought it looked really good. The size is perfect for the location I have and the price seems right at about $2,200. I'd like to hear from those who are vieweing both HD and SD Comcast cable. I'm concerned that SD is going to be considerably worse than my current...

    Speaker selector quandry

    I have eight rooms that will have ambient music speakers installed. What is the best way to setup my system for selecting among the eight locations. I've seen the Niles 6 speaker selector and the Niles 10 speaker selector seems to be only rack mountable, which I don't have. Using a stereo...

    Video switching question

    Brian... thanks for the very informative reply! You're right, I won't be using super high-end gear, so I'll just deal with changing video inputs on the TV to accomodate the different source material. Thanks again!
