Hello, I live in New York, and would appreciate some advice on a new flatscreen HDTV for gaming in my room. I'm working on a limited budget (less than $1500, if possible), and want something that supports at least 1080i, is larger than 22", widescreen and non-CRT or rear-prokection. I also want something that doesn't blur at all - I've found a lot of LCD TV's I've used have been terrible for gaming, despite reviews saying the refresh rate is good. Some of the units I'm looking at: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Pola...sem/rpsm/oid/119330/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do Polaroid 26" HD LCD - $900 Very cheap and looks quite good. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...CategoryId=pcmcat31800050025&id=1099396524530 Westinghouse 27" HD LCD - $949 Anyway, would really appreciate some advice or suggestions. I recently moved from the UK to NY, so I'm a little green on where in the US is good value! Thanks, Hugh.
Well, I know next to nothing about HDTV's and all that muck (being a poor college student kekekeke), but welcome to the board. Hope you stick around
Thanks bud, appreciated. Honestly, I thought I was going to be inundated with 'fuck off n00b', 'contribute something first' etc etc, type comments....!
Hmm... I would probably go for the Polaroid, but like AntiPasta, I don't know much about HDTV's. I just like the look of the Polaroid better Yeah, and welcome to ASSEMbler.
Agreed. However, if anyone has any other views on other good models, that'd be interesting too... Even better, if any NY members want to unload a TV on me, let me know!
If theres a Costco anywhere near you, and your a member of it, you should look there...I saw an awesome 27" LCD HDTV that was totally *flast and freaking awesome looking picture quality and it was like 600-700 something. *flat )Americans can't spell) or do parenthesis correctly. Welcome to the USA AND ASSEMBLER YEAH LETS GET SOME HOOKIERS!!!!@ I SPELLED HOOKERS WRONG
I can't remember where, but I have heard good things about Polaroids. As for value... I still don't think it's the right time to buy an HDTV...(Theres still a lot of TV here that isn't HD)...but I think the ones that you're looking are alright on pricing. About right where they should be, I think. PS: Welcome PPS: Was I the only one thinking this thread would be about a product similar to GXTV?
"I still don't think it's the right time to buy an HDTV...(Theres still a lot of TV here that isn't HD)" What do you mean by this? Are prices likely to significantly drop before the end of the year when the the XB360 is released? Thanks.
'fuck off n00b', 'contribute something first' j/k Welcome aboard! I have not heard of either companies making tvs. Hell, they are probably both made by LG in China anyway. I tend think that either will be fine, but I'd pick the one with the best warranty. errr... check that, they are the same. I'd choose the Westinghouse based on specs.
My best advice is to check the TV's out before buying them. Nothing beats seeing them in real life, side by side. Even if you don't buy it in the shop, you go out knowing what you want, and what you should expect when you receive it
I would go with the polaroid I have not been happy with westing house and a freind I know has a polaroid portable dvd player and it has a good picture and seems to be a good quality product that has a fair price polaroid is probably the one.
I don't know about a price drop when 360 releases, but I just feel that they're too expensive for what you get right now. I say just buy a hugeass standard, non HD television and ride it out until HD is more reasonably priced.
My best advice get HDTV screen CRT. Delivers the high-brightness, contrast http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/prod...ELEC&pid=05742055000&subcat=25+to+30+inch+TVs http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...CategoryId=pcmcat31800050031&id=1099396991028 but also I like this the best for pc and dreamcast vga http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...CategoryId=pcmcat31800050025&id=1110265591363
i've heard that all those 1080p cant even handle 1080p via dvi or hdmi, has to be over the air only and i dont really know if is the same with 720p
