samsung lcd tv 42 720p
I have a question regarding LCD TVs and 1080p vs 720p?
I'm going to be buying a new LCD TV soon; most likely a 40" or a 42".
Now, I know what 1080p is: simply put it's higher resolution: 1920x1080. My question is that I will not be putting this TV in the living room; it's going to in my bedroom. I also will not have the cable receiver thus I will not receive 100% HD channels; I'll only have the direct connection from the wall to the back of the TV
Therefore, should I honestly dish out an extra $250 for the 1080p? From reviews, I read that "only" Blu Ray supports 1080p. I can get a quality Sony or Samsung 720p TELEVISION for roughly $750; so I ask myself, “Why shouldn’t I”?
What do you think?
If you won't be watching Blu-ray, playing on a PS3 or Xbox 360, then there is no need for you to dish out another few hundred dollars at the moment.
HD channels is only capable of broadcasting in 780p or 1080i, not 1080p. Modern technology simply doesn't allow it especially when money comes in as a factor. It also won't happen for the next couple of years.
My advice would be to save up for now until 1080p is capable of being broadcasted (which won't happen until at least 2015) especially because many companies are now developing OLED tvs, the display itself without the casing is only 3mm, so the thinkness of the entire TV shouldn't be over 1cm, but that piece of technology will not be cheap enough to mass produce in big sizes like 42" until half a decade from now.
However if you have a PS3, Xbox 360, or Blu-ray player then forget everything I've said and get the 1080p because on a 42" it will be noticable to the naked eye.
