Ive been looking for a new set for sometime now and have narrowed it down to just a couple sets. I know I know they arnt even the same aspect ratio but hey thats why i need help.
Ive looked at both these sets in detail and have fiddled around with that tv screen size calculator. They both have great pictures on DVD. I however havnt seen these sets hooked up to cable, I would forsure be using the stretch mode on the panny, and apparently I would have a 25% smaller area on it compared to the Hitachi, as well as a different AR. Now with DVDs or widescreen material my screen area goes up about 40%!!! with the panasonic which is huge IMO. This is the trade off I cant decide on.
I watch probably 20% Movies to 80% cable/movies, but I dont like the idea of having a 40% smaller picture with DVDs.
BTW Im about 6.5 feet from the screen, would this effect any thing, aka, would the panny be too big from that distance?
Thanks alot for listening to my yammering,
Adam
