sony hdtv 32 1080p
What's the diff between hdtv and sdtv, is it that much different? Also is 1080p that much better then 1080i?
I'm thinking of getting an hdtv but I dont know if it's all that much better then my current 32" sdtv, how much of a difference does it make? is there any real difference from 720p/1080i compared to 1080p in terms of quality? Which hdtv should I buy, a noname brand or like sony or something even though they cost twice as much? plz help me!
If you are really looking for a good technical answer, I'd check the source link below for a GREAT forum with HDTV vs. SDTV and 1080P vs. 1080i debates, photos, reviews, etc.
I have a Sony 32" (720p/1080i) CRT, Sharp 32" Aquos LCD (720p/1080i), Panasonic 27" SDTV (480i), and Panasonic 50" Plasma (1080p), and the simple answer is.. it REALLY depends on your video source.
Poor cable signal means those ugly pixels look really bad on HDTVs (even with "upconversion" to 1080i), ok on SDTV. Go with the 720p DVD player or 1080i cable signal, and HD is incredible. Go one more step to 1080p, and it's a more modest improvement. Satellite HD.. maybe don't go there, due to higher signal compression (saves bandwidth).
Don't waste too much money on cables (component vs. DVI vs. HDMI in order of cost/relative improvement) unless you're planning on mounting the beauty on a wall or sit really close. However, you can score big points with the spouse if you've got just two cables dangling (Power and HDMI cable for both HD video AND audio). Also makes installation and troubleshooting quick and easy...
p.s. I initially went with the $100 HDMI "name brands" and have to say I can't see any difference with a certain $20 computer brand, other than cable color (dark gray).
