well wow. saw the game [didn't expect to] on HD -- simply amazing. it was going to be a '"try it out and try to convince thev Mrs." -- she walked into the room, said "wow, looks great" and when the folks we were with changed the channel to regular cable she went "wow" again and . . . well, now I'm on the phone with Rogers trying to get a deal [and if they won't give me one I'll call my buddy in corporate and see what he can do]. need this in my home by next game. My wife, who never pays attention to anything electronic, really picked out the difference between normal and HD 4 years ago, when I insisted on it for the World Cup. I had a hard time deciding between the Samsung LED seta few months ago and anything else. The LED had a terrific picture, brighter and sharper than just about anything, but I noticed a large amount of glare coming off the screen, a lot like plasma sets. I ended up with a Sony 40 inch Bravia XBR. Almost as bright as the Samsung, great picture, and this particular set was on a fairly big sale price after Christmas. I've got a 4 year old Panasonic Viera 42" 720p and it still has a great picture, though I cringe when I remember what I paid for it then. Wonder how long it will be before we all have wireless goggles with 3d capability, to be followed by signals wired directly into our brains? |

Will? |

I always told myself I'd get and HDTV when the price would fall under 500 bucks. I got this one for 450, and I can say I'm well satisfied. www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_05771021000P?keyword=samsung+32I think many people now go for TVs bigger than 32'', which is fine if you have a massive living room, but in my opinion can be too big. This one would please Franko, as you buy it, plug an antenna and boom, you have CBC in HD and you can watch the habs. Oh no, wait. You can watch Boston-Buffalo... (still, CNET review said it was one of the best for the size and the blacks are good on it. Not a pun on PK Subban). I agree with Andrew. You can't buy too big. I gave in to the wife and bought a "37" incher for the bedroom. As I age, I need glasses to see it clearly when wall mounted in the corner. My son has a "42" in his bedroom and I can watch it clearly without glasses. (note. I didn't go for the extra to get those tv's Direct TV HD feeds). I have a "58" inch HDTV in the living room with Direct TV HD and it has the best picture. I still wear glasses to fully appreciate the picture, but don't mind wearing glasses in the living room. I still would rather see a Montreal win on regular tv than a loss in HD. In the end, smaller units have sharper pictures, but technology is reaching the point where our eyes need improvement. |
