[quote name='DPsx7']Look, for the price of those TV's they should be compatible with more than just the PS3. With no SD support they should be like half the price then. The store models fail to impress and I just didn't see anything better than what I have already. Bigger screens just stretch everything out.[/QUOTE]
All my HDTVs are compatible with SD signals, so you have no idea what you're saying. If the screen stretches the image out, there are usually simple settings for that sort of thing. But really...
[quote name='DPsx7'] I've seen an HDTV so I think I'm qualified to comment. It's all hype. That or peer pressure if someone thinks they need an obscene-sized TV to feel good. Anyone saying HD is such an improvement needs their eyes checked or a smaller set.[/QUOTE]
I have TVs ranging from 27" to 50", they all work fine if you're willing to play with the settings a bit. Despite this, I prefer the bigger sets to the smaller. Just because you've seen AN HDTV doesn't give you much of a leg to stand on. Was it even on? Was it in a box?
[quote name='DPsx7']Oh, then I guess that's one place we differ. Lol. I can't stand movies. They're expensive, long, and boring. Again the last one I saw in a theater was probably the late 90's. The only 'movies' I own are the Simpsons Movie and Monty Python Holy Grail on DVD. Everything else is Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, Robot Chicken, Beavis and Butthead, or Ren and Stimpy on DVD. They don't make anything good on BR's yet. Not that I'd ever place anything but a game in my PS3. Finally no it needs to be a good brand. My monitor and TV are both Samsung and both have to be 10-15 years old give or take. I don't mind paying for reliable equipment. HD just hasn't proven itself from the examples I've seen.[/QUOTE]
TVs die just as easily as any other piece of electronic equipment, no matter the brand. And even if a tube doesn't die after X amount of years, the picture quality tends to go south unless you're taking your TVs apart and changing/upgrading the inside.
I find it ironic that all the shows you watch rely heavily on pop culture, especially on the movies they send up, yet you hate movies...
