High Definition

A few more days and we will be watching FULL High Definition (1080P) in our living room. No fake HD-ready but the real deal: 2 million pixels. (1920*1080)

It is now very clear that LCD is the way to go. A few years ago LCD and plasma were evenly matched but LCD has a definite advantage now.
Don't get fooled these days in buying a cheap LARGE HD-ready television. A bigger screen fades the picture quality. Hence the same amount of pixels are divided on a bigger screen. A 50 inch 1366*768 delivers only 800 000 pixels on a huge screen... image quality will be worse than a comparable 37 inch TV. Real High Definition has 2.5 times as much pixels on the screen: 2 000 000.

This will arrive in 2 days. It has the best rating available on Amazon.com. I prefer the next model of the Samsung line with higher contrast ratio but that was 25% more expensive. The fact that we paid less than a thousand euro, all taxes (LOL) and delivery included is a BIG plus. Cheapo America. Cheese is almost expensive as High Definition TV's.

We bought the HDMI cables and the upconverting (to 1080P) DVD player. So everything is ready for the HD hook-up.
