Just completed building my HT. Now I need to make a reasonably priced investment in HDTV.
My viewing room is12'x21'. Have two risers in the back 3 1/2' wide, 8" and 16" up from floor. So viewing areas are approx. 12.5', 15.5', and 18.5' from the screen area.
Planning on a 61" 16x9 wide screen for the size of the veiwing room, and have been kind of focused on a new samsung HLP6163W that is due out soon. Seems to have some good improvements over the N series that are out available.
Wanted to spend $4,000 or less....
Biggest question is getting the best HDTV resolution. I understand HDTV at 720p can get up to @ 2,000,000 pixels. But the samsung resoltion on the new DLPs is 1280x720 (I think) which is around 1,000,000 effective
pixels.
So I started thinking about not getting the best resolution I could from the theoretical HDTV max resolution of 1920x1080. Are there any other options I should look at to get better resolution of the HDTV signal???
OK, even if I have to scrap my budget #...
