HDTV

RCA or Sanyo?

I will mostly use it to watch movies and play games (PS3). I could get both for pretty cheap.

Thanks.

Your comparing an LCD with a CRT? Personally I'd go with the LCD..

If all you're going to do is play PS3 on it then why not get 1080p?

go to circuit city and compare both to each other. i wouldn't be surprised if there was a substantial difference between the two. and sometimes sanyo > rca, whereas other times rca > sanyo. it is best to check them out in-store. i did that for my tv and i'm glad i did since the other tvs on display were horrendous.

ask it in this way:
why spend anywhere as low as $600 when you could spend as little as 1300?
sometimes, people have limited funding.
i recently purchased a 720p Sharp Aquos. Can't afford a 1080p set of good quality. i refuse to buy Westinghouse too.

lcd > crt.

but...1080p > 720p, but 1080i < 720p (imo).

i'd say get whichever one looks the best.

Well I'm kind of in that boat. I can't afford a 1080p set but could get a 720p set if I wanted. What I'm doing instead is saving

More than likely, that CRT HDTV will look much better than the LCD AND be far cheaper...

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing LCD's have going is maximum screen size. Size and weight are non-issues to me.

CRT have a better picture if properly calibrated.

I bought a LCD a couple of months ago and wish I had bought a CRT. I'd go with the CRT, honestly.

I too switched from CRT to LCD.... I am not liking it a lot...

well SD signals will probably look better on the CRT than on the LCD. im sure the HD signals will look similar on both the CRT and LCD. im willing to say an HD signal will look a bit better on LCD.
