I'm sort of in the market for a hdtv. My tuner died recently, and I'd like to get a replacement before the season starts. My current display does not support hdcp, and for those reasons, I'd like to get a new display, relegating the old to computer use.
Here are my requirements.
16x9: I like my black bars thin.
720p: I hate interlacing.
Size matters not: In fact, I'd like to be able to move it easily.
Inexpensive: Well under $1000
DVI or HDMI: My Oppo has substantially better digital outputs than analog. Also useful if I ever buy into BRD or HDDVD.
HDCP support: unencrypted is for an ideal world. Do you know how bloody hard it is to get non-compliant gear?
1280x720: 1366x768 adds yet another layer of scaling.
ATSC tuner built in: I don't watch cable, but ota is/was the cat's pajamas.
spdif output: a must for dolby digital 3/2.1 ...
Standalone. My computer is a Mac, and it's in the other room.
And there you have it. Can it be done?
(an ieee1394 out would be nice, but...)
