^ Yeah, Westinghouse and Vizio are some of the best budget manufacturers. My friend picked up a 42" Plamas from Costco for $1000. Definitely a good deal, but then again, it won't compared up to the Sony and Samsungs.

Well remember that 720p is 1280 x 720 pixels natively and 1080p is 1920 x 1080 pixels natively. But 1080i could be either 1280x720 or 1920x1080 Interlaced. Because you see TVs with 1080i specs but only have 720 vertical pixels.

I dont see why you would not go for 1080p at this time as the prices are tumbling.

A TV is a big deal and you will often look at it - and regret it everytime you think about the "other one" that only cost $97 more and had the gidazoo widget attachement.



I am lookign at over the aid HD at the moment, trying to work out which DirectTV HD package is worth it.

Well because at 32" I don't think there are any 1080p panels. I think the smallest 1080p is a 37".

Prices will tumble even more after next week .

That's what I am waiting for, hopefully pick up a 2006 Bravia .

I saw a Westinghouse 42inch plasma, 1080p,HDMI for ONLY 800 bucks. I think either tigerdirct or buy.com or something like that. Couldnt belive it.

Also HD programs is just amazing! Espically ESPN and Discovery! Just fucking insane man.

Thats the trouble I'm having. I haven't found a 1080p tv that will fit on my entertainment center. Smallest I'm seen, as you said is 37". I really don't want to buy a new A/V rack. Even though I wouldn't mind a smaller one.


Why do you think prices will tumble after next week?
