New member Username: ExpatcanuckPost Number: 3 Registered: Dec-06 | Greetings. Looking for a 42" flat panel. Probably want plasma, as viewing angle is an issue (one sofa is somewhat off axis). Want a set to watch VHS & DVD movies, and watch TV - HD if available. Am trying to make sense of manufacturer's jargon. In this example, I'm looking at the Philips 42" plasma line. 2 sets are described as 'Flat HDTV'. 2 others are called 'Digital Widescreen Flat TV', are 'Integrated HTDV cable-ready', and have HDMI inputs. Can someone 'splain in English which sets might be preferable for which purpose? My understanding is that to get the HD product, I have to rent a $10/month widget from Comcast -- might the 'integrated' machinery make this rental unnecessary? Many thanks. - Richard |
