I'm never seen people in the main AVS forum refer 768p as 720p so I don't know where you get your illusions from... it's not about trying to show how much some one knows but setting some details right with the amount of misinformation out there...

Why do you want to go into so minute details in every thing you discuss. Relax, don't always take things so literally smile.gif. When I say 1KB in computer terms people know that I mean 1,024 bytes and not exactly 1,000 bytes.

The same way , when someone says I have a 720P LCD-TV (as opposed to 1080P TV) , people know I am actually referring to 1366x768 TV. It's understood because there is no LCD-TV which has exactly 720 lines of resoultion (I think smile.gif )

Anyway, as an example, a news report extracted from a simple google search :-

Toshiba to launch 20 new LCD flat panels in the spring

Toshiba's flagship Cinema Series Regza line

A lot of people walked into Toshiba's 2008 CES press conference expecting a train wreck in the light of Warner's pre-show Blu-ray bombshell. But after a quick obligatory mention of it being "a difficult day" for the godfather of the HD DVD format, it was back to business: namely, highlighting the company's 2008 line of LCD flat-panel TVs. The company touted five new series of models, all of which will be released this spring.

AV500 Series: The entry-level line-up features 720p HDTVs ranging in size from 19 to 42 inches. Each model includes integrated digital tuners (ATSC/QAM), a single HDMI input, and a single VGA input for PC connectivity.

But i read somewhere the Samsung HD-870 (cost RM399 locally) has got a pretty good review on the upscaling quality wor.  rclxub.gif

In fact i was thinking of buying the player above until i realized i also need some decent sound, thus the HTIB.

Maybe over the weekend, I'll try to view upscaled movie using my XBOX and see if there's any difference..

I got PC but no hdmi connection or dvi cable i think. But i read the SHARP manual it says support 1368 x768 and 1280 x 720.
btw, i even watch upscaled seriously crap quality ahem ahem TVB drama with 10 episodes on 1 disc...there SEEMS to be some improvement. Maybe it's psychological.

Ok, that's great. Thanks. You can always connect through VGA though.

BTW, Maybe you can ask Sunauto about the Samsung HD-870. He is very knowledgeable in that area.

If you guys can wait, get a low model LCD TV and wait for OLED TVs to become widely available...probably 3-4 years time smile.gif

OLED TVs from Sony and Samsung were launched in CES 2008 - and they're far far superior to LCD and Plasma (except for the half-life).

How to wait that long. After 3-4 years than must wait for another 3 years for price to come down, already Grandpa by then. biggrin.gif

Hi need help here,

I have a problem with my LCD TV, when I'm connecting pc to the TV using VGA cable I can get the display of BIOS and until windows start boot screen.

Once the windows start and sound come out there is no display. blank screen. I still can get the sound but the display is blank.

I can get the display when using S-Video cable but not HDMI and VGA cable. Now my pc only detect my cd tv as "default monitor" before this its detect as "Sony LCD TV".

Can anybody help me.  cry.gif

Have you selected the correct input source from your LCD TV?

Have you set the correct resoultion and refresh rate on your PC before connecting to the TV?

That's a dynamic contrast, not the actual contrast, the actual contrast might be just 1200 or less. You wouldn't know. Response time might be in accurate, it might be measured as grey to grey. Honestly, for the price, LG LCDs are okay but they're not in the premium range.

The actual contrast is only 1,000:1 biggrin.gif . Can check their full specs at their website.
