Any of you guys have a HDTV?
I just got my first one this week
32" Vizio for my bedroom, it is replacing the 27" Toshiba I have had since mid 90s. The Toshiba is being retired to the guest bedroom in the lower level. It goes up to 720p or 1080i depending on the video source (1080i and 720p are almost exactly the same). Man this thing has hookups up the wazoo! 2 HDMI jacks 2 sets of Component video (red/blue/green) a RGB jack (for plugging my computer or my 360 with its VGA cable) with audio input. a SVHS input a Composite video input (old style yellow one) a RF input for the cable and for outputs, it has choice of analog out (red/white) or optical out. right now I have my 360 hooked up to it besides my DVD player the 360 is the only device i have that looks good on a HDTV . I cannot belive i waited this long to get one. if you want a decent HDTV for the cash get a Vizio, I only paid 529 for mine . What HDTV or TVs do you have?

Have a 42" Samsung plasma 1080i in the living room. Want to get a 37 or so for the bedroom 1080p LCD.
Either that, or move the Samsung into the bedroom and get a larger 48" or so LCD 1080p for the livingroom. Don't know yet. But, I did just buy one BADASS Yamaha receiver today...7.1 surround 95 watts per channel. MAN is this thing incredible! Watched the beginning of transformers and both my wife and I were blown away by the difference between this and the old receiver. |

50" Sony SXRD 1080P in my bedroom, and a Panasonic HD Projector with a Carada 118" Fixed screen in my big theater. All HD. Plus all the other game systems. Bowling on Wii is a blast.

HDTV's are sweet, networks still got a long way to go as far as all the movies and tv shows that are on.
A regular channel (non hd) looks terrible on my tv, I've been told it's due to the size of the tv. I've got a 46 inch Mitsubishi Diamond LCD, beautiful movies in Blu-Ray at 1080p through my PS3 and you should see the graphics on some of the games. But when it comes to hooking up our old DVR, it looks crappy If you stick to 37 inches or below in tv size, some of the older non hd stuff doesn't look as bad I heard.

Yes, Some SHarp 32", don't remember the exact model. But I don't have the regular HD channels I just use the HDMI port for the Xbox360... which btw I haven't touched in a month or so. Might as well sell it.
