Jim Triskel | Hi. Couple quick questions, I'm kinda new to LCD/Plasma issues. 1- Does 640x480 display automatically qualify as EDTV supported? 2- I'm planning on getting a 22" LCD but can't decide between Sharp's, Samsung's, & Panasonic's. Anyone know how well the Samsung 22" performs? I noticed it supports HDTV while the others don't. Any opinions appreciated. Jim |
kevin | the samsung is the only true hdtv in the 22in range. its native is 1280by720 compared to 640by480 of the sharp and panasonic. it is a really good tv best buy i have ever. and at $1600 u cant beat it. |
Derek | Samsung makes a 24" inch LCD with a horizontal resolution of 1920 or 2048 but it costs $3000. I have seen it at CompUSA. It's so sharp I wouldn't waste it on TV. Also I have a Philips 109B (Tube) 19" monitor that I paid $179 for at Office Depot. It has the same hotizontal resolution as the Samsung. It easily does over 2000, is much cheaper, is flat but is not a wide screen. I have some true 1920 HDTV sample pictures and they are almost as sharp as the Sharp with slightly better color. |
Derek | Here's http://www.monkeyreview.com/reviews/review.php?num=250 a newer version with built in tuner and speakers. WARNING: it's $8000. |
