HDTV who's got one?
 

I just bought a 32" Sony and it fucking rocks

The only thing I dont like is some of my local channels (CBS and NBC) have that annoying bar on each side of the screen croping the video size

So what do other HDTV owners think?

Is it worth the money?

ive got an HDTV, its great :)

I have one, yo can get rid of that bar by going into the menu and telling the TV to use the 16:9 screen, or something like that...

I'm getting mine in 2 weeks, can't wait. PS3 will rock on it. :)

my screen is set to 16:9

ill have to try one of the other settings

Who doesn't have HD these days? TVs are so cheap these days. During football HD is a requirement.

Football is AMAZING in HD

everything is so crisp and clear

BUT I wouldnt say they are so cheap

still over $1k for a decent unit.

They have come down in price though. I got mine for 500.00 less then my buddy did 3 weeks after he bought the same exact tv

1k???
Min. for HD is 1280x720, full HD is 1920x1080

Yes. I must say buying less than 1920x1080 is not a smart idea, because the new movieformats, like blu-ray, will be in 1920x1080. And buying it without HDMI is stupid !

I was talking about purchase price

Cant get a decent HD here for less then about $1200.00

Thats about what i paid for mine

I have a 37" LCD HDTV and I love it. It sucks for video game,s though.

I have 2. So yes, I like. :-)

The bar is because most shows were shot in 3:4. It annoys my roommate too so he sets the mode to Fill.

I have to pay 2k for a 40'' LCD, 1366x768, and I got a great price for it, since it costs more in shops.

why....?

Thats not a bad price at all

Most 40's i saw were 2k+

yeah, I saw it in some shops for up to $3k, they have no shame :)

I'm notoriously cheap on everything except my TV...61 inch Toshiba LCD HDTV and couldn't live without it...I have it tweaked out just right for picture, sound, etc. and luckily all our local channels broadcast in HD, so I watch the HD channels.

Forest, your TV should have a way of adjusting the picture size. I know mine has 6 different settings/aspect sizes.

I know on mine, the dig cable box controls those lines. Try hitting the # sign on the remote, it should go through normal, stretch, zoom 1 and zoom 2...Stretch is what you are looking for. Hope it works for ya...

I have HDTV, but here in Holland we only have like 3 HD channels. 1 movie channel, National Georapic, and NLHD1 (which broadcasts the same programs all the time) so its' pretty useless here :(
Lots of our programs are not even widescreen yet hahah we are WAY behind in NL witht that kind of stuff

It seems very choppy. I got the HD cables for my xbox and it helped, but it's still hard. I think I'll get used to it, though.

I got two of em :) 65" and a 46" love em both. Have them both on DirecTV HD also. Wait until Jan/Feb when they will be released alot more HD channels!

Am I the only one who thinks the bars are good and that the stretched version looks rediculous? If it wasn't meant for widescreen, people look short and fat.

LyngSat HD
all HD sat channels..

My 62'' 1080p DLP will be here next week. I can't fucking wait, my eyes will be burning HD soon.

I can't be bothered to pay the extra monthly fee from my cable company for HDTV - $20 / month - no thanks!

TV is HD ready 50" Sony LCD rear projection

Thats weird, because I heard mostly the exact opposite. Since xbox360 is in HD, it should look great on HD TVs. And that was what I heard.

Most HD TV channels are highly compressed, so yea, you get the high res picture but plenty of artifacts as well. Sports is worst for this! HD is still beautiful to watch on a big screen tho, but the best experience will be from HD-DVD/bluray discs that dont have to crunch the bitrate to shit.

yes it's all worth it

if its actually an hd show there will be no bars...HD channels arnt HD all the time

I'll get one soon, but wait for them to come down in price 1st

Had mine for god knows when.. but it rocks

I love mine!!! :)

They are great I love mine.
