vizio 47 inch led
stuck between a rock and a LED LCD tv.?
I am about to buy LED LCD tv,47 inch 240hz 1080p Vizio. I am buying it now because I will never get a deal like this again. I am really worried because a guy at best but has told me that comcast doesn't broadcast in1080p only 720i. I see how good all the tv look in the stores that's only because they are hooked up to blue rays. I wonder how they will look hooked up to normal cable lets say com cast. I also wonder being hooked up to normal cable will it be fuzzy or will their be ghosting? If so is it really worth it at all to get a HI def tv at all. I mean if the only way I will get a good pitcher is watching a blue ray or ording hd channels. It still might not be worth it. I know a LED LCD will not turn regular cable into blue ray but I just don't want the pitcher to be all messed up blurry ghosting lagging. Just make regular cables pitcher a little better. WHAT DO YOU THINK???
The TVs at best buy are not connected to a blu ray player. They are using a private channel from DirecTV, it runs at 720p, the signal is carried digitally over the coaxial cable, and the TVs digital tuner handles it. The only time a HDTV will be connected to a blu ray player in a store is when it's just one TV and one blu ray player, there is no way to connect 50 TV sets via HDMI to a blu ray player without some massive cost and complexity.
There is no such thing as 720i.
There is 1080p available on cable and SAT, however it's very limited, and in the form of on demand, not live channels.
HD from over the air, SAT or Cable is mixed. I have comcast and the different definitions has nothing to do with the cable company but the based on network choices. 720p and 1080i is what you get from cable depending on the channel.
If you have regular cable right now, your HDTVs 'clear QAM' tuner will pick up the local networks like NBC, ABC etc in HD, by law the cable companies must transmit the local networks in HD and 'in the clear' or unscrambled. Just connect straight to the TV with no box. If you want full HD like Fox news, CNN, ESPN, HBO in HD, you'll have to pay and get the box to decode it.
HD on your new TV will look fine, it's not blu ray but it's so much better than regular cable. A LCD TV with LED back lights is fine, but I'd personally recommend a new 2010 plasma from Panasonic, LG Infinia or Samsung, those sets blow away all the LCD/LED sets.
