I bought a 42 inch VXT model 9 months ago. It was a "referbished" unit from tigerdirect and to date I am very pleased.

I think the CRT is still the gold standard as far as picture quality.

 

[yesrej]

are the newer plasmas much better then ones from two years ago? do they not burn like the older ones?

 

[mikes280]

ok i got my dad a 42'' LG plasma 600hz 720p model #pq30 and he loves it. hhgregg has this set for 499 and i got one today it has a simple remote and i was able to program his big remote to the tv just like Billr said thanks Bill this made my dad very happy

Isn't broadcast TV still 30Hz?

 

[Madpoodle]

600 hz??

 

[MacGyver]

600 hz??

Thats what I was thinking. What good is it when broadcast TV is 30Hz (frames/second) and movies are 24Hz?

 

[mikes280]

yes it has to do with the refresh rate of the set hell i don't no ask BillR. i just know the cheaper LCD's are 60 hz then 120hz and now 240hz but the plasma i got is 600hz

 

[MacGyver]

I think it's just another sales pitch.

 

[mikes280]

may be you think 720 and 1080 are to?

 

[MacGyver]

Nope. I see the the difference between 720 and 1080.

 

[mikes280]

no one broadcast in 1080

 

[MacGyver]

no one broadcast in 1080

Well I'm watching the Bears/Philly game right now in 1080i broadcast. I hope my TV isn't lying to me.

1080I is similar to 720P, and that is what they are refering to............I think

No you're not a dummy. TV chit changes so fast, it's hard to keep up. As long as the picture looks awesome, I'm happy :cheers2:

I hit the info button on my TV and it tells me what I'm viewing.

dito, no major networks are broadcasting in 1080p as of yet 1080i is interlaced 1080p is progressive so is 720p
