1080p HDTV Buyer's Guide

Topic:

In a previous shopping guides, we covered 50-inch 1080p HDTV plasma sets. Today we are going to have a look at under 50-inch 1080p HDTVs. You can get some very nice HDTVS in this size range to fit most any budget. Keep in mind that the only time you will really be able to tell the difference in a 1080p and a 720p HDTV is when you are playing movies from Blu-ray or HD DVD players.

That’s not to say at some point in the future cable and satellite providers won’t start broadcasting 1080p coverage, but currently 720p or possible 1080i resolutions are what you get for over-the-air and subscription HD content, neither of which require a 1080p TV. That said, buying a 1080p HDTV provides you with insurance for the future that you will have the best available resolution. If your budget can absorb the price premium 1080p sets command over 720p, buy the 1080p. Read more

Toshiba Regza 42X3000P 42 inch 1080p HDTV Review

Topic:

Most of our reviews these days are done by Shane in his Texas based test lab. To be able to do more product testing, I decided to upgrade our test lab in Germany with a new 1080p HDTV to better 'evaluate' HD equipment like the Sony PS3 and other HD equipment.

As 1080p was a fixed requirement the choice came down to the Toshiba Regza 42X3000P 42 inch HDTV pretty quickly as the low price and the high-end specifications are currently unmatched on the German TV market. Amazon Germany sells the 42X3000P for EUR 1.267,95. Read more

Quote from the review: "Just a year ago, finding “affordable” 1080p front projection meant writing a check for at least 5 zeroes – and even then, you were more likely than not to sacrifice features for dollars. Happily, prices on equip-ment are beginning to come down, although, for the most part, they continue to put such systems out of reach for the average, everyday consumer. Read more

Can You Tell a Difference in 1080i & 1080p?

Topic:

With the release of the 1.80 firmware update for PS3 yesterday adding DVD upscaling all the way to 1080p to the PS3’s bag of tricks it got me to thinking, can we tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p?

I have tested 1080p sets before but haven’t had 1080p and 1080i sets available at the same time to do a side-by-side comparison of the two. I can say that from my time with 1080p sets and my time with 1080i sets that they look pretty much the same to me. Read more
