Soo, I bought my first TGD Big Screen Tv Earlier Today...

[TKEblue]

I have a 42" lcd with Idk what resolution. Some movies are incredible on it, but some movies and hd programs drive me nuts. The first movie I watched after I got it was the wash and it made me hate the tv till I watched something else.
It just makes some movies look like 3d but not in a good way. Like the people aren't actually standing where they are, but on a different plane. But on most movies/tv shows its just awesome

should have went to 1080P, noticeable difference between 720P and 1080P feeds.

Congratz! Still have my old TV and my kids are begging me almost everyday to get a new flat screen... I told them they'll have to wait until the actual one dies...

I'm with Benoa, I got an old school 32" Toshiba...still works great, and my living room is relatively small. Will wait for prices to get ridiculous. Will be looking for 40-46" 1080 LED, maybe 3D.

Trying to figure out what that could be. If it's just a few movies, it could be an intentional "creative" decision.

I can say that I hate frame interpolation. It makes a movie look like a soap opera. Yuck. If your TV has that feature, you might check how it is set. My parents bought an LCD TV late last year and I was HATING things, then I found it was manipulating the frame rate...once I turned that off all was good.

I still have a 60" projection tv in my living room, but a 37" 1080 Vizio in the bedroom. We HDMI the laptop for blu-ray movies. The Surround sound is with the LR tv, @1000 watts, it will shake the walls. I love watching Live After Death on it. It stays till it dies, then like RacerX I'll go LED 3D, just don't know what size...

If I remember correctly, I believe the recommendtion to sizing your TV is 6-7" for every foot away you will be from it. -Lou

Whats going on Lou, where the hell have been?

[LouSiffer]

Been too busy. Driving 3 hours round trip everyday to work. Not much time to do anything else.-Lou

I do the same thing. It gets old sitting in the car that long avery day. Been doing it for 3 years now.

[zeegler]

WTF since Ron didn't correct this one, I will. I don't think you were weary, I think you may have been wary.

Lou and Zeegs (thanks guys) bought the complete Ron Jeremy collection on Blu-Ray 3D. You can see me behind the scenes. I was Ron Jeremy's stunt double from 2000-2006...until I got too fat. But I receive royalties for all things RJ. So order your copy today!!

He's a great guy and chef. He makes an excellent cream pie!

Glad someone else noticed this. I have really noticed a big difference in the past 3 years where companies go for this look. It's not natural at all. I bought a Pioneer Elite Kuro plasma display a few years ago (before they stopped making them.) Thing looks great.

Twitch, I have had the same TV you just got for about the last year and I love it.
All my friends with 1080p can't even tell that it's only running at 720p!
I couldn't justify the price hike to go to 1080p when I couldn't even see the difference.
Fast motion is crystal clear too. No blurring at all. Can't beat the plasma refresh rate!
Hate the screen burn in though, but there is a white screen program built into the menu to make up for it.

Congrats on the TV and I'm sure you'll love it as much as we do!
