Buy Insignia at BestBuy, it's a rebadged Samsung all the way. We compared insides and they are EXACTLY the same. I picked up a 37" Insignia for $500. FYI 1080 is better looking, but only if your using a blue ray player. You won't notice the difference at home with a HD upconvert DVD player because max output is 720p which is what most people are probably going to be using for a while until the Blue Ray comes out of the clouds. The new HD coming out thats going to be standard is all 720 as well excluding the sports channels/movie channels which are "supposed" to be 1080 from what I know.

On the 1080 vs 720 thing... Media center PCs, Xbox 360s, (I think PS3s), Blue Ray and HDDVD players all display in up to 1080p, so if you like any of those things, 1080 is the way to go.

I got a top of the line 52" Sharp Aquos 1080 a month or so ago at cost because my friend that works with IBM did a project for them so they offered him cost pricing. It retails for over $3k and I got it for $1,800 shipped to the house.

I do not follow the tv stuff much but supposedly it has all the bells and whistles along with awesome clarity.

But yeah like Pat said, they are getting cheap ! I remember a few years ago these tv's were $5k + !

Get ready for 1440 ( I think that was the number ) to replace 1080 soon according to my friend.

I need to get a new tv...my 42" plazma is getting a bit dated

Sharp Aquos is the best quality picture I have seen in High def televisions.

On the DVD player deal most of the ones out there are upconvert, which isn't real high def. Better than 480 for sure, but not the real deal The 360 is an upconvert dvd I'm pretty sure but the ps3 is a true. At least that's how they were initially released hence the cost difference A media center PC is obviously going to be as good as it gets since you can use a video card accelerator. When 1440 comes out all you have to do is swap video cards . I run DVI with my 19" lcd and love the picture!

FYI you won't be getting any real high def without HDMI/DVI cables anyways The red green blue spectrum of the "base" high definition sucks balls

Switch your TV from 1080p to 720p, I bet you don't notice enough of a difference for the cost Now if you have a blue ray player, the difference may stand out. And 1440 is hilarious, at the rate they are trying to move they are gonna say screw TV's and go holographic for the real win!

This is the setup I have. Nothing special, but it works since I'm a broke bitch!

Only asking because I have no clue. What is the pro-vs-con of each?
