George513 Unregistered guest | Hi, Researching DLPs and really like the Samsung 56" series. Currently, the HL-R5677W is available which has 1280x720P resolution. The new models HL-R5668/78W series are due out in next couple months. They boast 1920x1080P resolution. My question is it really worth waiting for the higher resolution? I read most HDTV is broadcast at 720, didn't find much about anything being broadcast in 1080P. If you are interested, here is link to details on new Sammys: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=493443 Also, been reading lots on cable (TWC) vs. satelite (DirecTV). Still confused on which provides better overall quality of HD service. Appreciate any input. Thanks, George |

FYI Unregistered guest | Sat beats cable hands down! CABLE SUCKS! Cable has lousy standard def and the signal is inconsistant. The Samsung SIR TS360 DTV/Terrestrial receiver is very nice! http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?sort_type=price&masterid=2485266& isbn=&pid= Got the bucks? For twice the price the xHD3 chip is gonna be sweet! For half that price the 5674 is the best with the HD2+ chip and no useless internal HD tuner or glitch filled CableCard technology. http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?sort_type=price&masterid=5029645& isbn=&pid= *********************************************************************** |

George513 Unregistered guest | Thanks for your feedback. Seems to be the consensus about cable. I also read that VOOM may be purchased by Dish? I have a couple of months, so will wait to determine if I go DirectTV vs. Dish. Also, I will opt for a HD-DVR receiver as I have a PVR now and am addicted. Any thoughts on the DirectTV version: http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/imagine/HDDVR.dsp Thanks! |
