bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 12, 2006 Veteran Share Posted November 12, 2006 ok seeing how no one here probobly owns this tv, how about I ask about a different TV. how about the Westinghouse LVM-42w2 Oh god no, please. We have the Westinghouse at work and it's image quality is sub par. The black levels are just severely lacking. On top of that, we've had a lot of reliability issues with Westinghouse across their line of LCD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Warwagon MVC Posted December 1, 2006 Author MVC Share Posted December 1, 2006 i'm thinking about just going with a 42 inch 1080i max tv, what do you guys think of this one its a Olevia Black 42 LT42HVI I can get it with shipping and a 3 year warranty for $1,228.98 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16824022015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted December 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2006 It's a 720p television, not 1080i. It will accept 1080i, but only display 720p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted December 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2006 It's not like thats a bad thing. 720p is still the standard with HD televisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted December 1, 2006 Author MVC Share Posted December 1, 2006 well I wanna be a little future proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted December 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2006 well I wanna be a little future proof Future proof for what though? The only real 1080p content for the next few years is going to be HD-DVD and Blu-ray. Broadcast stuff is limited by bandwidth and I don't think we'll be seeing any 1080p broadcasts, never mind full time 1080p. for quite a while (think 8 years down the road). The market is simply moving too quickly to sit back and wait to future proof yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted December 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2006 Arn't broadcasters doing 1080i Yes, but you are barely going to notice a difference (if at all) at this size range. 1080p only really shines at sizes above 50", IMO.
