Looks truly dreadful, then again uploading it in such low rez won't help.

It also doesn't help that this is over 3 years old at this point and I have owned many other HDTVs since.

@s999top

Check out avsforum, they have massive topics dedicated to picture settings.

I lost this account due to the youtube google merge. This is my new profile. I now have a Sharp 70" LCD (732) for those interested.

Why so many? Do they break? I'm just about to pick up my new tv and hope it lasts fer a few years. Limited in my choice as it's a replacement for my worn out tv through insurance. means can only get from 1 store and they only have three 37" models. Can't fit bigger and don't want smaller also I hate motion blur and poor blacks.

I don't know who told you that, but that is way off from the truth, a 1080p tv will run a 1080p signal in 1:1 dot mode. I've owned many 1080p HDTVs and all of them passed the 1:1 dot mode test patterns. (at least the LCDs did, the Plasma sets failed due to the Dither pattern that they use)

Go check out AVS forum, it is a science forum for HDTVs, you can learn anything you need to over there.

[fergus1494]

yeah well basicly its 1. taking the 1080p signal and converting it 2 1080i or its taking the 1080p signal and converting it 2 720p, also the 1200 pixel 1080 res, its hard 2 explain but its not that simple.. tv's dont have higher resolutions because the viewing distance covers up all fults and also they are making so much money from the 1080p gimick why bother spending money to make a better set when you can just market the lower res as better! its all money. btw nice panny

[fergus1494]

if you look at it in the turms of res to size, it go's 1080 for 22" 1200 for 24" 1600 for 30" thats how it works mainly with monitors. with tv's you dont need a very sharp image and they can get away with alot more image problems like ghosting and noise.. mainly because with a tv you are ment 2 view it from a distance so this is coverd up and with a monitor you sit next to it so they cant cover this up. Also pendrag00n pc's can output past 1600 they just need 2 cables. and monitors run with hz

I honestly think Halo 3 looks a bit like shit. Especially when compared to games like Assassin's Creed ...

[Raymint]

Really? Why? I mean I'm glad to hear that I won't be diminishing the clarity of the picture by getting a bigger TV but My Plasma is exactly 1080p (at 50") - is not even that enough?

Thank you man.
