Finally got HD for my lcd...HUGE DIFFERENCE!

[Yooformula]

I had a nice set of component cables so I upgraded the coaxial cable and what an awesome picture!! Just sucks twc only has like 6 HD channels. Gladiator on tnt-hd for the first show of the night kicks a$$!!!

HD is the greatest thing since......well maybe ever.

ask dave how cool it is we watched the indy five hundo on one and the 6 hundo on the other. yoo did you get a hdmi cable also it is even better

[Yooformula]

my hd box doesnt have an hdmi output. I did that test with my dvd player/xbox 360 and saw a huge difference though. i did see a commercial that nascar will be on tnt-hd for 6 races starting next week. very cool!!

On LCD's with TWC your actually going to get a better picure on your NON-HD channels using Component versus HDMI. It it due to the compression and other techno-gee-wiz reasons. If you have HD Sat, then HDMI is your best choice if your TV supports it.

Now.... the newest level of LCD's -like the new Sharps (only ones released so far), have bumped up thier processing from 60Mhz to 120Mhz, So on those using HDMI with those w/ TWC you will see a clearer pic w/ less artifacting. BUT the artifacting is a function of TWC.

Only thing better than HD on the LCD with good cables is
a PLASMA 1080, broadcast on Discovery in true HD :)

Seriously I could watch cooking channels all night, HD
rocks! Im a nature freak so Discovery channel in true
HD just kicks butt.

My favorite is the Pioneer Elite 50". Followed by the new 1080p Hitachi plasmas and that new Sharp 1080p/ 120Mhz LCD. Without going broke over a TV, those are my recommendations

FYI / semi-related

The PS3's new free firmware upgrade includes FREE upconvert!
It's supposedly the best upconvert quality available, according to elitist snobs on video forums everywhere. :)

I would agree 100% and put the newer Samsung 1080's right in line
with the best Hitachi's. Pioneer 50" Elite is my favorite with the top
of the line Samsung a close second followed by a couple Sony's that
were pretty nice on the eyes during fast action 1080 viewing.

Worst part is choosing, 3 days off work just cruising the net and
viewing display models....lost more money not working than what
I spent on the new plasma.

once that changes i'll go HD...but until then, i don't see a reason

because when it is HD it doesn't matter if what you are watching is good. You just watch it because it is HD.

Mine does. TWC HD DVR box...... YOu can probably get a diff model from them

I have a 56" HD DLP 1080 Samsung and love it!

[Yooformula]

my lcd only has 1 hdmi input so its not a pressing issue right now.

[UnderPSI]

new 1080p Hitachi plasmas


That is going to be my next purchase :thumbsup

[Breecher_7]

I cant justify a plasma.. Bang for buck and picture quality for the dollar. I think the DLP 1080 was the way to go......
