Still looking for an HDTV....not sure....but there is a nice 37" Polaroid LCD that is priced right.
It may be a few weeks before I can make the switch to Digital Cable....will an HDTV receive the analog signals with no problem?
'morning DR Jack..... Don't worry about watching conventional stuff on a new high def TV. As everyone has said, it just won't look as good as DVDs or actual HD cable programming.
One thing to consider.....I decided on plasma after doing a lot of looking at a lot of different sets for several months. For one thing, plasma sets have an actual glass screen which can be easily and safely cleaned many times. An LCD screen is a thin plastic film, and just must be treated more carefully and delicately.
Also, go to a Best Buy or Circuit City, and look at side-by-side sets that are carrying the same source material at the same moment. I particularly paid attention to scenes with some "jet-black" area to the picture, and I started to notice that I always was coming back to either Sony or Samsung plasma sets. The "black" on those 2 brands was consistently deep, totally dark, and intense. Looking over to other brands at the same moment, some of the "blacks" had a slightly washed or milky look to them.
So, there are my totally useless "2 cents" that you can toss out as you like.
