I seriously thinking about dropping my 47" Akia (1080i projection, but no HDMI) for the Samsung 40" we have at the shop. The 47" is ok, but clarity is NOTHING to a plasma or LCD...this dam LED is insane. It literally looks fake to me.
We had Lord of War on DVD playing on it all day today...I drifted away from customers to the screen like 15-20 times. Chits mesmerizing....lol.
Not sure if they do yet Rovin. I just got a blu ray myself along with my flatscreen.
I finally got a HDMI cable the other day and watched "Valkyrie". It was AWESOME! I could see everything so clear. I could see the hair on dudes ears. LOL.
Yes Rovin, the only issue is that there aren't alot of seeders yet and the files are huge, around 7 gigs average, so it will take forever to download. Blank blu ray discs have come way down too.... from around $30 each to as low as $3 each.
Nick, that is because your blu ray player upconverts the DVD to 1080P so there won't be a big difference to the eye.
And just to clarify to some in this thread that don't know... the only difference between a LED LCD TV and a standard LCD TV is the backlighting. Conventional models use a type of flourescent bulbs that aren't nearly as fast to shut off and on as an LED. Plus, since LED's are cheap and very small, they can put hundreds of them behind the screen and this makes it so that little sections of the picture can turn off and on extremely quick, making for much better true blacks than conventional backlighting, which tends to be dark gray in some situations as opposed to the true blacks that LED's can produce. This creates a huge difference in the contrast and overall crispness, which is what Canaan and Nick are seeing. Another advantage is that LED's are very rugged, long lasting, and use a fraction of the voltage required by flourescent backlights.
yes i guess it wud be a pita to upload & DL then to burn so u might as well buy it origianl for now but u know how ppl like free DL so it might be more prevalent in the near future ...
