In Reply to: The Sonys are stunning. (nt) posted by Jack G on November 29, 2005 at 05:28:06:
I was in my local Sears and saw the 50 inch version of this Sony. The picture was far from impressive. The Sony LCD's looked much better. All the TVs in the store were playing the same source material (maybe a DVD?). Why did this TV not look great? Do you think it might have been not properly setup?I am shopping for a 60-70" television now. I almost never watch DVD's. I mostly watch sports. I do not need a flat screen. What TV is recommended? I want something will take advantage of 1080p when and if it ever happens. I am told the new Sonys will not accept a 1080p signal. Is this true?
Follow Ups:
Was it the LCOS? Odds are, the sets aren't set up well-no surprise there. If you are looking for a large TV, you may wish to consider some of the large DLPs. They don't do much for me, but you may like them. No, the Sony doesn't accept 1080p, even though that is its native resolution. Then again, neither do the Samsungs, Mits., or JVCs. As far as I know, only the HPs accept full 1080p signals, but all accept 1080i. That being said, I don't know of any 1080p sources-HD TV doesn't have it, and supposedly Blu-ray may not either. I'm not too worried about that, since I mostly watch DVDs. The down side, is that SD TV can really look like crap.

Blu-ray will probably have 1080p output. Not that it matters that much.
