Title: The hdtv thread
Post by: Himu on July 02, 2007, 04:45:01 PM
My current tv only has two jacks. One video, one audio. Distant tells me this is an sd tv, but I don't know. What all can I do with an sd tv and what type of cables can hook up to sd?

sd tvs can't use component cables, right?

I don't know much about tvs!  :-[

uhhh  does it have red, white and yellow inputs?  those are composite?

or does it have the single thicknet cable that you plug in?  That's coaxial.

composite is better than coaxial.  

And yes, some sdtv's use component for better picture quality, but it's really not that noticeable and not worth getting an sdtv with component.

Some tv's have an s-video input, but it doesn't sound like yours does.

Himuro if you're confused by all this HD and SD acronym nonsense then I have a great mnemonic for you to try out.

For SD all you have to do is insert an "a" into it. SD becomes SAD as in the emotional experience you get when trying to enjoy television programs or video on your current TV.

For HD just add "AR" into it. HD becomes HARD as in what your penis will do when it sees the visual splendor laid before you when you buy a current TV with that label.

So remember don't be SAD get HARD.

Thanks!

Fortunately, the PS3's upscaling and smoothening makes PSOne and PS2 games look extremely clean and sharp even on 1080p screens. So fuck CRTs.

If you're a slumming college student, I guess. But this TV is going to be lasting you for a while, as your TV from the 50s shows, so at least put some funding into it. I plan for my TV for at least 3 years, as I got  3 year warranty with it. By then newer (re: older) TVs will have dropped and I can get something better then.

I have an old 27" RCA S-Video CRT upstairs for my last-gen gaming. PS2 shit looks surprisingly clean on it; same for the Gamepube and its shitty 16-bit color.

Fortunately, the PS3's upscaling and smoothening makes PSOne and PS2 games look extremely clean and sharp even on 1080p screens. So fuck CRTs.

they still look like shit compared to my trusty ol' RCA. no edge crawl ftw!

He's taken a part of the settlement money and put it into an investment fund.

You know, for as rich as he is and as much as loves all the animu shit, the man needs to take a trip to Japan.

but once they're watched, wtf are you supposed to do of them, they just sit there in a storage room... no one else in the mainstream would watch some shit in japanese with english subs, and it's too much of an hassle to sell it on some place like Ebay

okay, when you buy an HDTV, go for 720p, not 1080i or 1080p.

1080p isn't really noticable and there's only like 3 360 games and 3 PS3 games that are rendered natively in 1080p plus the technology isn't really there yet.  720p (while 10% less pixels) is said to have a smoother image quality than 1080i because it's not interlaced.

Ports the TV will need:
Component.  You have a 360 and wii and that's the only way to get the best image out of both of them.  I heard you can use VGA to get a 360 up to 1080p without buying a Elite and using HDMI.

SDTV can have left and right sound or mono.  White is left side and red is right side.  If there's only one cable then it's mono.  Yellow is the video cable.

I have a 32 inch tv from 1987.  It was BAD ASS in 1987 though  :maf


Three component inputs, all on separate video channels.  Umm, that's it.


I think it's been struck by lightening at least twice, it had a couple of weeks where it just refused to work, but for the most part it's stood tough.

However, it's eternally dark now, when I watch an NBA game it's like 10 black guys, no idea who is who.  When I play Zelda TP on my Wii, it's unplayable in a cave, and the brightness meter at the beginning both the first two squares are the same color. 

Needless to say I'm very much looking forward to getting my hdtv this month or next.

fuck no don't get a Pioneer TV or any plasma, these shit displays NEVER have even a native 720p resolution, even if they're advertised "720p" or "1080p" their native resolution is like 1024 x 768... what a goddamn rip-off

either a Sharp, Sony or Samsung LCD on sale... preferably in 1080p so that it's future-proof for a few years down the line
Title: Re: Tell me something about tvs please!
Post by: brawndolicious on July 03, 2007, 01:25:54 PM
no point in 1080p.  Just get a new tv 5-6 years from now.  You'll need a pretty big tv to see the difference if you had good eyes for this sort of thing (enthusiasts say 40"+) and even then there's only HD movies you can see at that res.

Post by: Mondain on July 03, 2007, 02:12:22 PM
the price difference is getting thinner and thinner by the day

and 360/PS3 games upscaled to 1080p don't look any uglier

so it's worth it to get one, there are console games right now to take advantage of that (even COD4 for PS3 and 360 this winter), and they can display the native resolution for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs

fuck no don't get a Pioneer TV or any plasma,
interesting - i was looking at the Pioneer elites last night in Yodobashi and they took a big fat dump on anything else.

The Bravias are fairly nice too :/

hmmm...

They can have a very nice picture quality, never denied that. But their native resolution is basically always inferior to 720p! They advertised that they are "720p" or "1080p" compatible when it's simply that they downconvert these signals to their low resolution of 1024 x 768 or whatever!

At least with a Bravia you get authentic resolutions. Top grade LCDs have really improved a whole lot when it comes to blacks, colors and contrast ratio.
