zamboni Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 We finally got an LCD tv the other day. I rented the Dark Knight Batman movie on Blu Ray and watched it through the PS3. OMG. How did I live without HD TV before???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMITOUT Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 So Santa DID bring you a HDTV to watch the Vikings games more clearly so there is less confusion on Mondays. Wow, might be the first time Santa brought what I asked. I must have been a good boy last year! You're welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozebutton Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 We bought ours a little over a year ago and now the same TV is $400 less. Oh well, and I agree, how did we live without it. Which one did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboni Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 I went to Best Buy and they had a 37" LG LCD for $599. It was a 760 I think. I went around the corner and they had a Dynex 42" with 1080 for $699. I asked the salesmen about the reliability of the Dynex and he said they have been really pretty good so far, so that is the one I got. I talked to another salesgirl there and she was telling me the difference between the 760s and the 1080s and it was almost a no brainer to go bigger and full HD resolution for the extra $100.

petepeters Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 mine will be here in time for the superbowl. As far as 720 vs 1080......or Dynex......hmmmm...... You should have done your home work on CNET. MIne is a magnavox 42" lcd hd 1080 for a smaller dark room.$749 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboni Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well, Pete- I just looked up my tv on that CNET, about 5 pros and no cons. 4 out of 5 stars favorable. Don't know what you're getting at, but seems like a good tv to me, and so far I can't complain. Acutally, my only complaint so far is the fact I went to watch it yesterday morning and my 2 and a half year old son took an ink pen to the screen the night before when I was at a bar league playing poker. It all wiped right off. I don't think he knows how lucky he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Bassman Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 That is good to hear your PS3 is working good for you know It should look sweet with the blu-ray dvd. All the PS3 games are blu-ray as well so they should look good as well. I need to get a big screen soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 They are awesome for sure but have yet to see blue ray through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crothmeier Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 HD is awesome. I did about 2 months of homework before purchasing my tv, i feel like i got a great tv for the best price out of the retailers that carried the brand. I wish my cable provider was a bit more up-to-date on the HD programming and equipment, but i get a great picture on the channels i do get! the difference is unbelieveableWhen spending that much money on something the thought always creeps into your head "did i buy the right one, what if i waited another week will it go on sale" it'll drive a guy nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
