Q. Im in the direction of getting a 1080p LCD HDTV. However, I am still deciding. What do I need to know? Consider I am keeping my standard definition DVD player and PlayStation 2.
A. Unless you have some sort of HD channel coming in, the tv is worthless, save its size. Watching regular cable tv on my 65" makes it look like trash. And since nearly EVERY thing that is in "1080p" is actually 720 upscaled, you can probably save some cash by going for that instead. Yes, even xbox and ps3 gamers are almost all entirely in 720.
Edit:
The crazy idiot below me listed four, when he said there were 3! LED and LCD are COMPLETELY different. One is liquid crystal, the other is LED light. Duh...... He also forgot about DLP projection. Don't let the media or anyone else lie to you. DLP looks every bit as good as LCD or Plasma, but you will notice a difference between any TV we have listed yet, and the new OLED and Laser tvs. Mitsubishi is the only company to make laser tvs yet, and from what I have heard, the picture is amazing. Oh, and he said LCD doesn't use alot of electricity? Thats garbage. They put off a ton of heat, which means they use more than most types of tvs.
Ups and downs for each type of TV
LCD
pro: Flat, good picture, and decent colors, getting cheaper
con: eats electricity, creates ALOT of heat, heavy. older models are 60-120 hrtz
Plasma
pro: Good color representation for the most part, clear picture, flat, can be heavy. usually more than 120 hrtz.
con: terrible black color, high possibility for image burn on most models, cost, can be heavy.
DLP
pro: comes in largest size of any tv out there, great color, including black, good picture, wont image burn for a long time, doesn't eat electricity
con:heavy and bulky if you get a larger one, not flat, bulbs do burn out after a year or more, sometimes price, older models cheaper. Most are 60-120 hrtz, with newer models 120+
LED
pro:crystal clear color and picture, amazing lifespan, FAST refresh rate
con: cost
Laser
pro:color and image quality are the best you can buy, larger screen, fast refresh rate.
con: COST!($7000) might be too big and heavy depending on the size you get.
No matter what you get you are making some trade-offs. I have a DLP, and I love it. Its a 65" Mitsubishi. I was going to get the 73", but getting the deal I did, I couldn't pass it up. I play my Xbox on it, and had high definition cable through Comcast, and it looked amazing.
