Looking for a 50" HD TV

You may already be aware, but the AVS Forum site is a great place to get educated about video. There is a section of the forum for RPTV's (CRT and DLP) here and another for plasma and LCD devices here .

50" are easy to checkout, but Smaller Models are almost non existent.

What really gets me is that places are selling regular analog units and pretending that you are getting a great deal when in reality they are selling stuff that is relatively worth nothing in relation to what the market is moving torwards.

I always liked Mitsubishi,but Sony might be taking the lead there.

Good luck!

Pick up the present issue of The Prefect Vision for their comments on the rise of LCD and performance versus plasmas.

BTW- It is a very postive step foward for LCDs.

Geeze Willobandb...I just spent thirty minutes lurking on the A/V forum. Some guy posted..."CRTs aren't capable of displaying the 1440 lines for a 720P* source..." What??? I lost count of the number of posts where people don't know the difference between vertical and horizontal resolution. Thanks for the link but I'm afraid there's a lot of mis-information being dispensed on that site.

*720P has is made up of 720 horizontal scan lines (vertical resolution), not 1440. Assuming the pixels are symmetrical (round or square), a 16X9 display would yield horizontal resolution of 1280 lines.

It's no coincidence that 720X1280 is the native resolution of most HD plasma's, DLPs and LCDs. Now if we only knew what the real resolution is with 7" CRTs... or should I ask, can a 7" CRT display a 4 mil. (.004") spot???
