The year I graduated from high school!

 

[MotF Bane]

Nef!

 

[Locut0s]

Again! Why is this such a ridiculous statement? Is HD cable not in 720p? Does it stretch out just fine?

Stretch?

 

[Locut0s]

Cable HD is often 720p but can also be 1080i.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Mom has finally approved purchase of a television!

Dad and I get to choose it, which largely means, I get to choose it.

Panasonic plasma. G or VT series.

 

[MotF Bane]

Stretch? If the Tv is 720p set and it's getting 720p then it's fine.
Set..| Source | Result
720..| 720.....| No problems
720..|1080p...| No problems
1080| 720.....| No problems
Jesus Allah.....| No problems

Er, if you have a 1080 set, and you give it 720, won't it be like putting a 1440x900 image on a 1920x1200 monitor?

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Yeah I could but I never like rocking the boat or going "crying" to the mods. Not that I haven't done it in the past. I'll keep quiet about it for now. Will see how much longer he keeps hounding me.

Oh oh, who is it? (hints or links are fine)

Then put him on ignore in the meantime.

Yeah a good 720p display can still look fantastic. When you get up to screen sizes in the 60in range though 1080 starts to become noticeable.

1080 is a requirements for:
55 inch+
or Projectors

The year I was born! :awe:

The new sets scale remarkably well.

 

[MotF Bane]

Panasonic plasma. G or VT series.

Plasma = burn in?

 

[MotF Bane]

Stretch?

Yes. 1440x900 image on a 1920x1200 computer display, I'll see the distortion in an instant.

 

[MotF Bane]

:/

 

[MotF Bane]

Hell, I can see 1680x1050 distortion on my 1920x1200 computer display.

Not necessarily true. One thing you have to consider is whether or not you may use it as a monitor or for another PC-connected application. If so, 1920 x 1080 is much better than 1368 x 720 (or whatever the resolution is for 720p).

We still have a 50" 720p Panasonic plasma in our master bedroom and love it.

You're sitting far enough away that it doesn't matter.

I've a 49.9 inch 720p LG plasma and a Samsung 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz 3D LED (got a good deal) $560

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Plasma = burn in?

No, not any more. Hasn't been that way since 2007 or 2008. My 2007 set (2006 model) had no problems.

Panasonic G series with THX mode enabled rocks. The VT is the next model up.

 

[Locut0s]

Yes. 1440x900 image on a 1920x1200 computer display, I'll see the distortion in an instant.

1400/900 = 1.6

1920/1200 = 1.6

Same aspect ratio. No stretching.

Oh. I forget people would use a TV + computer.

The pixel density would kill me

 

[Locut0s]

And 720 and 1080 are also the same aspect ratio.

Bought the 2nd tv for my gf but seems like my parent's are using it for the time being. I guess once she graduates I'll give it to her

How much $ do you make per year before taxes? Roughly?

 

[alfa147x]

When you get a 120hz tv turn off the Motion Smoothing. It's horrible :\
