Im debating between a couple of LCDs to get for my playstation. A "96" series Samsung and a Bravia Sony mostly.

Anybody have first hand experience? How do games and Blu-ray movies look?

They both do HD-TV so ... they both look the same ...

Just look at the colour numbers, pixel numbers, refresh rate numbers.

Which ever has the highest buy that one.

The Bravia has the Colour Chip it may look a bit nicer next to the rest of the tv's in store however once its in your room whatever you buy will all just look the same.

From an article recently posted on the forums:


MYTH: 1080i looks better than 720p.

Only if you plan on looking at your game on pause. The truth is that 1080i only displays 540 lines every 60th of a second while 720p displays, wait for it..... 720 lines. While 1080i has a slight edge in sharpness, it often suffers from a slightly flickery look that can strain the eyes and cause breakup in fast-moving scenes. Most times, 720p and 1080i are just about even-- they each have strengths and weaknesses but you'll be hard-pressed to spot a big difference. And for HD video gaming, 720p is sometimes preferred for its smoother, slicker frame rate.



MYTH: LCD/plasma TVs look better than old-fashioned CRTs.

A popular misconception is that new-fangled LCD and plasma TVs have better image quality than an old-school cathode-ray tube TV, all HD resolutions being equal.

This is actually false. An HD CRT will almost always look better than an HD LCD or plasma TV, as CRT boasts deeper, more vibrant color. CRT TVs can also render a wide variety of resolutions, from 480i up to 1080p (if supported), without losing quality through downsampling or upsampling. In contrast, an LCD or plasma TV has a designated "native" resolution that must be hit (say, 720p); anything above or below this number will usually look muddy or blurry as the signal must be converted. This is especially true for interlaced formats like 480i and 1080i

CRT may beat both plasma and LCD in terms of picture quality, but they are enormously heavy, with larger sets weighing up to 200 pounds. The key selling point to plasmas and LCDs is their sleek size and light weight, in addition to solid picture quality.

Looks great, I have a 52 Sharpe Aquos. NBA plays in 1080p. Like the aritcle above states, not really worth it yet, more for the future.
