one more query...i see that there is great difference in pricing between philips and samsung. how is the overall performance for philips? i mean in compasirion with samsung (atleast for now since i guess it is market leaders) are they worth the money? |
personally i dont like philips. their ambilight is good bu not worth the cash. samsung is a good overall buy. sharp has the best picture and commands a big premium over the rest. the sony bravias are also good but i didnt like them and bought the samsung over it. to each one his own.

40" LCD ( HD Ready-720p) + Sony PS3 Game = How does this look? Please select from (Average, Good, Awesome)
40" LCD ( HD Ready-720p) + Normal DVD video+ HDMI cable used= Whats the difference here?
40" LCD ( HD Ready-720p)+ Satellite TV+ Composite or HDMI ( dunno the difference)= Whats going to be the image output from this combination
Sorry if above sounds laymanish, just trying to get some grip on these technologies |
1) the ps3 can support upto 1080p. it will look between good and awesome on a 720p but to unleash its full potential a 1080p is a must.
2) the dvd players which use hdmi also upscale the dvd to 720p(some to 1080p). the picture quality is not as good as hd even though they claim it to be hd but its better than normal dvd video.
hdmi and composite are just two different cables that carry hd video and sound. hdmi is supposed to be better and its much neater since its only one cable. its also digital and i think composite is analog.
3) there are no STBs that have a composite or an hdmi connection. even if they do they must stream hd content otherwise there is not going to be any difference.
