first off i will say that image quality is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL to me.
okay, i've been looking at some nice-looking 26-30-inch CRT HDTVs (Toshiba, Samsung, Sony, and a few others i think) to buy in the future. i will be using this future tv specifically to play my next-generation console of choice.
if i get xbox 360 i will be using component. for playstation 3 i will be using hdmi.
i've been reading a thread about hdtv's, and i keep hearing this word "upconversion".
i'm gonna take a guess here and say that it means the TV takes the video signal from the source --say Xbox 360 -- and "does something" to it so that it "displays" at 720p or 1080i.
well, to me that BULLSH*T.
i don't want the tv to do ANYTHING to the signal. all i ask is that the tv displays a TRUE, PRUE 720p or 1080i signal.
the keywords here are "TRUE" and "PURE".
what's the point of buying a brand-new hdtv only to have it manipulate the video signal to a FAKE, PHONY 720p/7080i. that makes me VERY uncomfortable, and i do not want a tv that "converts" or "upconverts" anything!
please tell me there are other people here who feel the same way.
can someone please tell me there are sub-$1,000 26-30-inch hdtvs out there that don't do the convert/upconvert bullsh*t?
thanks.
