How would you rate Philips as far as tv's go?
Philips - 42" 720p Flat-Panel Plasma HDTV - 42PFP5332D/37
Philips - 42" 720p Flat-Panel Plasma HDTV - 42PFP5332D/37
Dude... I take it the money you've saved on hand-me down furniture and pots to piss in is gonna be used an a flat screen... huh...
Get a vizio...
If it's in your budget, I would not spend the money on a plasma without getting at least 1080i resolution. Ideally you should get 1080P...
You can't even fully take advantage of Directv's HD channels without 1080i...
I've got a Panasonic Plasma and it rocks...
Anything 720P resolution is not a good buy in my opinion...
You need to read up on that stuff before making the purchase...
720P is really like a 1368X720 resolution, which is not a true HD ratio...
You might want to at least wait until Black Friday to see what kind of TV deals shake out. My flat panel was going for around $1,700 last year and I picked it up on Black Friday for $995...
To the genius that gave me:
"11-13-2007 09:59 PM: the only way to get 1080i is from a DVD or video games. T.V. Satelite or Cable are not running anything in 1080i yet, the most they are doing is 720, so you wasted your money buddy!"
You obviously didn't read:
1080i 1,920x1,080 Includes CBS, NBC, PBS, Discovery HD/Xbox 360
HDTV resolution explained - HDTV World - CNET.com
Considering I've got a PS3 with a Blue Ray...
