T teh_pwn "Saturated fat causes heart disease as much as Brawndo is what plants crave." Aug 12, 2004 #3 I don't know much about HDTVs, but I think you can get Sony widescreen CRT HDTVs for $999 at about 30" that'll do 720p/480p/1080i.

T thom Member Aug 12, 2004 #5 is 720p important? there really aren't too many games that will utilize it but I'm worried about next generation of consoles and dvd players.

T teh_pwn "Saturated fat causes heart disease as much as Brawndo is what plants crave." Aug 12, 2004 #6 I'm pretty sure 720 p is the future of HDTV. That and 1080i.
S Shogmaster Member Aug 12, 2004 #7 That TV probably does only 800x480. meaning you'll be missing 26 pixels to the left and right of the screen (so it's not true 16:9). The only CRT based 16:9 480p sets are those Sony Wegas IIRC.
