oldguy said:we have both a 42" plasma (Sylvania) and a 50 Samsung DLP. Both have a great picture but sometimes show some pixelation on the Satelite (directv) programming. The few over the air HD programs we get in this area are really great.
My wife was not in favor of the 50" at first in the store even after the salesman made his pitch but as we were walking away from the showroom she turned and looked at it again and this time loed the picture. Turns out she kept standing to close to get the effect- lesson learned be sure your room is big enough for the size you buy. We have a room that we sit 10 to 20 feet from the TV which is just right for the 50"
The definition of HD IS 16:9. What he's probably seeing is a digital channel that's not in HD. A lot of folks confuse digital and HD as being one in the same.HD 16:9
We needed a new TV when we moved since the old one did not survive the move. I had planned my old rec room around a 50" screen TV but found out the day I finished the room that my wife would be forced to relocate for employment so we held off with the old TV. As long as the moving company was replacing the one they dropped we bought another for the living room ourselves.motometal said:Uhh, maybe I should just sit close to my loser old school 25" Zenith CRT I inherited from grandma and I would get the same effect, right? I mean, if the TV is actually so big you have to back up...I can't see the advantage, unless you are trying to entertain a large group of people.
I have the former Adelphia's complete package, then changed a few weeks ago by Comcast (a real mess!) I receive 18 HD channels. I just checked, and this is what I found:Okiewan said:The definition of HD IS 16:9. What he's probably seeing is a digital channel that's not in HD.
