Hey everyone. I'm buying a HDTV for my apartment and I think I have it narrowed down to two TV's. Here's links to both of them... Tell me your honest opinions please smile.gif

why is it that every high end HD tv looks worse then my cheap computer CRT monitor? you always see these digital artifacts in all the high def tv's ive ever seen, that you never get with a crt monitor.

artifacts - Due to upsampling/ limitation of bandwidth over cable (You wont get these with proper HDTV 1080i setup while watching a dvd or HDDVD/blu-ray)

Reason it looks worse ? The resolution on your monitor is proabbly 1024*768 pixels on.... a 21" screen... HDTV's are usually 1920*1080 pixels... however the large TV's are usually 40" + ... which means you have "bigger pixels"

In other words, if you do your HDTV setup correctly... it will look AS good as your CRT monitor.. and its not the CRT that makes it look nice.. its the resolution.
