If you have a Blue-Ray player is it worth the extra bucks to get a 1080P TV instead of 720P?
Like in a 50" Panasonic plasma - available in several versions.

Yeah most of the customer reviews & CNET etc say the low-end Panasonics (which can do 1080i too I think) are all you need, but probably most of those reviewers didn't actually have a Blue-Ray player so it left me wondering.

We have a couple of places that rent all videos (including Blu-Ray for the latest ones) for 88 cents on Wednesdays.

| Originally posted by chinamon there are a few HD channels on 110 but its not worth investing all the money in a HD STB for just those. i have a dish pointed at 61.5 just for HD channels. here is a good list of channels on 61.5 http://ekb.dbstalk.com/61-5list.htm i have the sonicview 8000hd with all-in-one 8psk board. |
720p is better then 1080i. I wouldnt Use 1080i at all. My LCD does all and I use either 720p or 1080p and its kinda hard to tell the difference since its only 32inch, but if i use 1080i then it is not great.
My parents tv is a plasma that has only 1080i and it is not great for ps3 or bluray.

My parents tv is a plasma that has only 1080i and it is not great for ps3 or bluray. The image that you see with 1080i is not as sharp as you would expect a nice tv to show. |

1080p >720p>1080i
Based on my viewing experience, and on the reading that I have done. I dont feel like getting into the difference between interlaced and progressive scan and scaling. Im sure you can use google.

bluray and hd-dvd is still way too expensive. better download HD rips for free from like tehparadox.com or hd-bits.ro and then play them on a TViX M6500A (http://www.digitalconnection.com/pr.../tvixm6500a.asp) only about 4 bills. much cheaper and more versatile.
thats my tip

| Originally posted by chinamon it might be cheaper but i think a lot of people are on rogers and theres a 95GB per month download cap. |

| Originally posted by nycionx well most rips are typically DVD5/9 size. so thats like 10-20 movies a month! if that aint enough, then u must have too much time on your hands lol |

Ratatouille on Blu-ray looks good, FYI.

| Originally posted by pete242 I also do have 61.5. So if u are sayin quite a bit of them are on there then I will invest in it. Though the psk component still pretty expensive. Is it HDMI or component? |
