Cable may be a better option. Depends on where you are of course. Outlying cities are less supported than large cities.

Well worth it in my opinion.

HDTVs: always getting better. Mine is a 720p which is more than adequate for my viewing. New ones are 1080p. Actually, feeding the TV with a progressive scan DVD player and video quality is very good -- difficult to tell the difference between broadcast HD and SD progressive.

Very happy.

What is your opinion on this...

" if you buy an lcd tv and intend on using it with a pc, be aware that many do not support 1024x768 resolution -- they support 1024x760.


"Why they left off 8 lines is beyond me."

Because they are designed to support the High Definition TV standard of 760p - the computer functionality is just an added plus.

"Better to hold out for a display that supports HD at 1080p - they cost more, but look better. And for a 27" computer monitor, I'd want to achieve a much higher resolution than 1024x768."
