This will be our first flat screen TV; upgrading from a Sony 27in XBR. It will be connected to sd cable coax and local digital antenna. I do not have a HD cable box. I will also connect a computer for netflix and internet video streaming (Hulu and other sites).

Cost difference is about $100; not much in the great scheme of things.

TC-42PX24 from Costco @$449. 720p. Usual complement of HDMI and component inputs. It also has a VGA input which will greatly facilitate connection to the computer. Optical digital audio output for connection to the optical digital input of my HT receiver (Marantz SR-19).

TC-P42s2 or u2. ~$540 from several online sources. 1080p. HDMI and component inputs + optical audio out. No VGA input.

If I go with the 1080p model, I will also have to get a VGA-HDMI converter or a HDMI computer video card.

Unless we get another bigger tv, I do not forsee this one being used in another room or for another non TV use.

At 12-15ft viewing distance, will I be able to see a difference in resolution between a 720p and a 1080p display when viewing blue ray content ?

Thanks,

Ross

Given the pocket-change difference in price it makes zero sense to buy a 720P 42” panel… - three_sox 03:09:50 12/21/10 (0)
