Lighting and surrounding have a huge impact, so get a DVEcalibration disc. Navigation will turn your hairs grey, but it works to get the TV adjusted to your room. It's easily the best improvement you can do.Originally Posted by rwfanatic
Does anyone use any of the preset color/contrast/etc. settings or do you all go through them yourselves and make adjustments? I have a 42' LG and I just have it set to the standard setting, but sometimes I thing the colors be looking kinda

Just a quick question, why is the plasma cheaper than the LCD?
I need a hook up to buy a 32 - 37 Inch LCD Samsung (LN Model) .. I have paypal ready

HDMI cables are convenient and easy to connect. You can get them for cheap at monoprice.com

Will the HDMI cables make a noticeable difference over just a regular cable hookup from a HD cable box? On a 5 year old JVC 52" 720p

More details...
Monoprice is legit. I've bought 4 HDMI cables from them...
As for 120hz... The top portion is how a 60hz LCD would accept the image, and below is how the 120hz handles the image.

and Gunna, may I ask why you chose the 7 series, the only difference between that and the 650 is the preloaded content.

, your store has them in? I'm still waiting to see the 950 in person, LED backlighting ftw. I still wanna see the 860 and the 960 too. And 120hz is not a gimmick, you can see a difference. I'm prolly gonna buy a 42 inch panasonic for myself in my room. I'm leaning towards the PZ80U though just because of the 1080p and I plan on getting a ps3. Cinco any word if they're gonna havge longer extended financing options at bestbuy soon? I know yall had 36 months 0% like a month back.

120hz processing creating 120 unique frames, like MotionFlow, is just one "feature" of 120hz TVs.
The other benefit of having a 120hz TV is the ability to display movies (shot at a 24hz frame rate) in a natural cadence. Each frame is multiplied by 5 to fit120. A 60hz TV has to do the 2-3-2 thing.
On a different subject, I think contrast ratios are a spec that can be misleading, especially with LCD TVs using florescent backlights because they do notdisplay an "absolute black". With new LED backlit TVs coming out, the importance of deep black levels is going to be a feature more people willunderstand.

Okie, I already downgraded to a more financially suitable, wallet friendly car.
Also,
I just can't live with financing a TV like a car. Just my personal preference. I'd rather save til I could afford the tv than to incur a debt for a TV.
I'm in the market for a new logitech harmony remote. Hopefully amazon or somewhere has some good prices goin now. I'm thinkin "one", or"880"
