resolution & contrast, remember if you dont have a HD chanels at your service provider you must need highger resolution. about 10000 could help...

i have a Sony 32" that's 1080P. you do have to spend a bunch tho and unless you sit fairly close like me (7-8 ft) you probably won't see any difference between 720 and 1080. your money would probably be better spent getting a set with a high contrast ratio

i dunno why...there is a sharp that has it tho...my friend who seems pretty knowledgable with this stuff claims that 1080p is not worth it in a tv below 40 inches because you cannot really see the effect...

the Tv is not recieving a truue digital signal.... you must connect thru the HDMI or colorstream ports and ALSO have a true digital signal coming in to get a 1080p on start up.... most DVD's (not blue ray) can not generate true 1080... and some cable networks you need a 1080 converter..... dish satelite or digital over the air should draw a 1080 response.. hope that helps... PS: my Tv works great... and has since I bought it.. Joe

I wondered the same. From what I gather, the 30B is 47" and the 32B is 42" but otherwise the same, I believe. The 32B with my 65" Tv works great for such a price savings. I wouldn't notice any difference of 5 inches for twice the price. I believe, at the time, I made the right call but see the price has lowered for the 30B. So moot point now. I wouldn't pay for the above price for either, keep searching.

This TV is not 1080p, it's 720p. However, it's generally accepted that on any monitor 50" and below the additional resolution isn't discernable.

hi, i have a similar size room, tried 26, 32 , and 37 inch. 32 is best. one thing not talked about often is, there's also a minimum viewing distance for these tvs, esp. 720p. any closer, you see the pixels, any noise in the image, etc. with a hq tv like samsung, sony, sharp, my experiments indicate for a 32" around 5 feet is about as close as i'd want to go. anything else, i'd have to go to 1080p (the sharp 32" aquos 1080p model is great up to 3 feet, but more $$). btw, right now you can pick up a samsung LN-T3242H at circuit city for $720 if you're a AAA member (you need to go to www.aaa.com/circuitcity to get a coupon code). this model is a level down from the 3253H but i picked one up yesterday and so far it seems pretty good to me. you can read about both models on amazon. good luck.

When you say resolution, you mean the image on the TV? I had to force my computerto the correct one, because it says you have the wrong resolution. Did the computer detect your monitor/TV set?

anon4, what standards do you want to see in HDTV and please elaborate on some of these bugs that you mention? Also, I belive this has a component output, which I believe is analog? Buying an analog only TV would not be a very bright idea considering that all TV broadcasts will have to be digital in the near future.

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR

It's awful without HD cable. I had this tv for a month before getting HD cable and it was not enjoyable. Don't get a 1080 tv if you plan to watch non HD programs.

HDTV is definitly here. However, there is a cavet. An HDTV program not produced originally in an HDTV format (720p, 1080i) but what I like to call EDTV format (400i, 480p, 576i, 576p) and has been upconverted from EDTV to HDTV resolutions just can't compare to a natively produced HDTV program. There is alot of HDTV programming, but there is also a lot of EDTV programming out. While EDTV looks better than regular television, it only slightly an improvement. If you haven't seen your first high-definition image your in for a treat. 1080p is a bonus resolution that, at this time, is only supported by Blu-Ray/HD-DVD movies and computer inputs in all their glory. It is not necessary for broadcast or cable television, yet. The only gain to waiting a year is holding on to your money. Yes, the initial outlay for a television is expensive, especially if you haven't seen it in action, but once you have it and start enjoying you'll soon realize I am glad I bought the tv. Until broadcast television and high-definition movies increase the resolution past 1080p, a 1080p tv all your going to need. Just make sure you pay attention to the connectivity on the back of the set.

LOL no it doesn't work like that. 4k will look THE SAME as 1080p from about 10ft. At about 6 feet the difference is pretty visible. At 4 feet its obvious. Keep in mind this TV takes advantage of other features that most 1080p sets don't have, like advanced local dimming (for higher contrast) and the triluminos display (for better colors)

I was at Sam's Club the other day and did a side by side comparison of a 32-in 1080p and 720p playing the exact same programming. I felt I could tell a difference in the HD programming. The 720p had less details in the skin tones than the 1080p.

So does this mean my "WIDESCREEN" dvds will be stretched? I purposely bought WIDESCREEN versions of my DVDs because I like them exactly as the theater and I don't mind the top/bottom black bars even when viewing them on my widescreen HDTV (37" panasonic plasma). Any more info would be great. Thanks!

Hey Oleg, I was just wondering if you might give me/us an update on the TV. I'm about to pull the trigger on the same model/size as the one you bought and just wanted to know how satisfied you are with your purchase. Also was wondering how well the 3D works, if you would be so kind. Thank You!

Just buy it if you have the money. But buy it from Amazon or online, as in stores it is like $500 - $700 more. Also, the 1080p is great for DVD's, games and stuff that support it, but there are no TV channels that broadcast in 1080p, and probably never will be due to the large amount of bandwidth needed to broadcast such images.
