If I cop a Vizio 22 inch 1080 will I notice a difference in quality when compared to a similarly sized 720 monitor?

Not a considerable difference or one without a trained eye will be able to see. I would go with the 720p

Even with HDMI?

Nope. I think the rule of thumb is anything under 40inches is fine with 720p. I'm sure theres someone on here that can give more insight intothis and/or you can find some good reading on the internet about it.

So I'll go with the cheaper 720.
Thanx!

No probs. Only way I'd get a 1080p is if it was 50" or over.

I just got the walmart bundle instead of the slim for $299! Dont really like the way the slim looks!

 

[pacmagic2002]

Lol.......Why are people tripping off the way it LOOKS rather than the price and the 120GB memory size??

Whatever.....bought this a few days ago......fits with my black flat screen TV and black/glass stand with my black cable box and black router

Cant go wrongwith black.

According to Chart-Track figures, sales of Sony's PlayStation 3 have increased by 999% in the last week following the release of the PS3 Slim console last Tuesday.

"The uplift on week 36 on week 35 is plus 999 per cent," revealed Chart-Track's Director, Dorian Bloch. "We don't give out the hardware numbers, but never-the-less it's a very large increase."

This increase has had a knock-on effect on the UK's all formats game chart, where titles bundled by retailers with the PS3 Slim have experienced chart resurgences over the last week.

CoD4: Modern Warfare jumped from number 10 to number 3 thanks to a 128% increase in sales, which was mostly down to its inclusion in a PS3 Slim bundle, while EA Sports titles Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and Fight Night Round 4 experienced sales increases of 38% and 68% respectively, which were primarily the result of similar PS3 Slim bundles.

Conversely, Xbox 360 sales in the UK increased by 43% last week following the price drop of Microsoft's Elite SKU, while this week's sales remained on the up with a 29% increase. Despite this ongoing rise, Sony's PS3 still outsold the Xbox 360 by three units to one over the last week.

These are UK numbers....

I feel like sony just slapped me because I purchased their blu ray recently and not the ps3 because of its bulky size and extra money

then this drops

If you go to sonystyle and apply for a sony credit card. You can then purchase the PS3 slim and receive $100 credit in two months. So basically you will bepaying $199 for a PS3 slim. Same applies for the 80gb Ps3 or more expensive bundles. Minimum purchase to be eligible is $299.
