My TV came in today! v. 65" of pure joy

[umairejaz]

i just ordered my own 1080p tv.... whats some of the upcoming signals we can come to expect in this resolution?

I know blu-ray is out there but $1k is way to much!!!
Is the xbox 360 output 1080?

Right now im just waiting on the ps3 to come out, that should be some good stuff.

Ive been reading more about it and they say most earlier 1080p tvs still cant fully accept a 1080p signal when they do become widely available making them alittle useless for the soul purpose of buying for accepting that signal alone

the technology is still in its infancy so i hope my tv doesn't become obsolete

The FCC sucks. The still-as-of-yet broadcast flag is why current TV's may not be able to accept 1080 resolution HD.

65" is huge! ... but if/when I get a big screen, then i'm going to have to go with Plasma. Nothing else that I have seen for thin, flat screens is as good when trying to watch your TV in a sun-lit room. Too bad a 65" Plasma costs ~$10,000+ at the moment! :-) (you can get 50" plasmas for ~$3000-$4000, though)

the bottom left corner, the cd, to show the size?

Yes, to give the perspective of size.

The Mitsu that I just bought accepts a native 1080p signal.

The stunning 731 Series picture is further enhanced by an all-new digital signal processing system. Plush1080p® allows for precise deinterlacing and upconversion to 1080p. 4D Video Noise Reduction creates smooth yet detailed images. And Tru1080p™ processes the highest resolution HDTV signals in their native format.

Tru1080p™ Processing - All Mitsubishi 1080p HDTVs process 1920 x 1080p inputs without downconversion, delivering the full bandwidth of the incoming signal directly to the screen for a true 2 million pixel image.

There ya go.

Sun really doesn't affect the screen on my DLP.

...and people on welfare drive Lexus's, Escaleds, and Benz's.

I'm flattered with the stereotype, but I am just a normal person who works his ass off so that he can buy toys.

Word of caution though, to the normal folks,

Don't go over you budget and go crazy to FORCE yourself to buy a 1080p display, just because it is the rage.

At the moment there are very, VERY limited sources that can even put out 1080p.

HDTV is still at 720p at the moment. No 1080p broadcast exist at this time that I know of.

Early HDDVD Players can only do 1080i. Newer models may be able to do 1080p, and so may the new Sony PS3. However.. it still remains to be seen HOW MANY titles / games whatever will be available at 1080p. Not to mention that for the next couple of years those players (HDDVD) will be $$$ expensive , and so will the titles (prob. about 30-40 a disc).

If you are just going to watch standard dvd's and don't plan to upgrade your player and YOUR ENTIRE DVD collection at this time, a 720p screen will do just fine. Likewise, if you just plan to watch the occasional game in HD. (You would also need to upgrade your service to HD.. more $$$)

Be also aware that normal broadcasts may look like crap, when the TV downconverts the image. Unless you want to watch HD channels only 24/7, this can be an issue.

If you are not going to get a screen bigger than 40" I won't even bother with a 1080p. The difference will not be noticeable, unless you sit like, 6 inches from the screen.

H O W E V E R

If you feel you are ready for the digital age, are able to shell + $ 6.000 on a TV and all the digital gear / cables / sources / service etc.that go with it to make it shine, then yes... this is an excellent TV, and when fed the proper source can give you visual orgasm. Just don't expect to watch much 1080p tv for a couple of years.

^-- WELL SAID PLUS 1 FOR YOU,

I manage an HHgregg here in atlanta, we get alot of customer that want 1080p televisions, but they dont know why (there buddy has one usually).....the only real way to take advantage is a blue ray player $1000.00

I would personally invest the extra money in a good home theater system.
