Who has HDTV?

[TONY206]

I just got it cause I got tired of staring at it at work and coming home to regular tv. This shit is GREAT for for sports. I got it on my new 46 inch widescreen tv. Merry X-mas to me!

[mrtonguetwista]

Since I got HDTV the roaches seem to enjoy crawling across the screen when I have company more often.

my girls dad has it at his crib, shit is so sick watching nfl or nba games on.....a must have

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

I may be a little ignorant with technology, but someone school me on exactly what HDTV is por favor.

 

[AC Transit]

My two buddies have that shit

sports is sooooo sick on it, companies need to hook up more channels for it. Pretty banky though. Directv makes you get the HD tuner for it but its well worthit. I can't speak for Xoom though, i saw it once, but the TV wasn't up to par to really tell the difference.

im with you.

how does this hdtv make watching sports any different than some other tv?

 

[TONY206]

^^It looks like you're at the game, NO JOKE. Once you see it you'll see why. I didn't think much of it til' I saw it everyday. Go to a best buy or something and look at the hdtv's.

 

[Likwid]

Yeah the color is fuckin outstanding too, if u go to Best Buy or Circuit city you'll find HDTV's next to reg tv's to show the difference. It sounds stupid but it changes tv period.

 

[ConnDemned]

HDTV's have 3 video channels (I belive) where the other has 1... HDTV's use one channel for the Red colors of the picture, one for the Blue colors, and one for the Green... so you get a sharper crisper picture.

^^^No. What your talkin about is component video; one seperates the brightness & the other 2 seperate colors.
HDTV is at 1080i/720P, what that means is the image you are watching is displayed at 1080 lines of interlaced scanning or 720 progressive scanning. Interlaced simply means that it scans the odd & even lines & interlaces them to form a picture, progressive is much better becuz it progressivly scans the entire picture & thats what is displayed. DVD players scan @ 480p if your using component video.

 

[Eddie Fresh]

You can use component video cables to display HD but your better of using a DVI or HDMI cable cuz theyre all digital.
There is also EDTV which means Enhanced Definition is only at about 800 lines of interlaced scanning

 

[TONY206]

Anyone using an HDMI or DVI cable and notice a difference from component video? HDMI is the best but its a $200 cable (if you go with Monster) and unless it's 200 times better than component than I ain't fucking with it.

 

[Eddie Fresh]

Well HDMI & DVI are all digital which is the kind of connection you want to use, those component cables take the digital signal, coverts them to analog then your tv coverts it back to digital (I think thats right).
