im trying to figure this out… my friend played a movie on his 50 inch LCD tv and it looked like crap. i just bought a 42inch dynex HD LCD TV, and was wondering if full screen only DVDS will look like crap. i did some investigating on why this might happen and came to 1 answer. the dvd wasnt Widescreen

I Need To Know :

is it true Full screen dvds(which only play in 4:3 ratio, which is the tube television ratio) appear to look worse on HD TV’s.

is it true Widescreen dvds are to be used with both tvs because it has a 16:9 ration and appears to be a box on a tube tv, and cover the whole screen on a LCD 42 inch HDTV

will a widescreen version of a movie cover the full screen/ not look blurry on a LCD HDTv, whereas a Full screen only dvd will appear extremely blurry on an HDTV, but not a Tube TV?

if HD TV allow to be only used with Widescreen dvds for best picture, because a full screen dvd will look blurry

Is an HDTV interchangeable to get the best picture out of a full screen and widescreen version of movie if i play with settings?

if im wrong on anything please clear ths up for me, i cant test TV out due to i need to wait for christmas to give to family. i dont want to be out 600 bucks ya know?

Because we found a 50 inch plasma Samsung it’s a new model because it’s sale or what it’s $1333 but we also found 50 inch samsung LCD which is almost twice the price so what’s the difference? and I am planning my Playstation 3 to connect to it by 1080p those two tv support it but we are still wondering us me and my parents if Ps3 would be look awful in a Plasma than LCd cause it’s cheaper or it’s just the same?

Is it possible that a TV stand that says it can hold upto a 50″ LCD or plasma TV and 135 lbs, actually hold a 52-inch HDTV?

I’ve been doing abit a research and I’ve come up with the Sony Bravia W something or rather….Thanks for any suggestions

I have read on cnet etc but I am still confused if I should get a plasma or lcd, what are the pros and cons of both? Also I have heard that 1080p resolution is overrated because none of the networks are going to be broadcasting anytime soon in 1080p. Should I not concern myself with 1080p?

I just brought the TV and would like to know what products would be the best to clean the screen with. I do not think I can use windex like I do on my other TV. Thanks a lot!

Also: Panasonic is the brand tested as most reliable and is highly recommended by “Consumers Reports” in all categories. Anyone agree or disagree?

Im thinking of buying a new HDTV. Im between two choices: Either a Samsung 40 inch LCD 1080 p with a contrast ratio of 15,000:1 or a Samsung 50 inch DLP 1080 p 10,000:1 contrast ratio. Don’t know exacly the difference between LCD and DLP. The LCD set is about 200 dlls extra. Which television should I buy???
