32" Samsung LCD HDTV. VERY nice picture. Some non HD channels looks grainy but the HD is phenomenal. Xbox 360 games look great also.

Just a 32 inch sony tube. It works well for me, as I'm too cheap to pay for any HD content. Once Halo 3 comes out, I'll switch to a high def TV. Personally, I think the low quality movies/tv shows I get off the internet look better on my CRT tv than on my friends plasma.

I just use my LG 203WT 21" widescreen monitor for my TV with my Xbox 360 running HD VGA into it, and occasionally my TiBook for other media.

Gotta love Logitech's 5.1 game console adapter... Converts RCA to true 5.1 surround sound.

That's true of any HD TV really.standard definition just doesn't have the resolution to display clearly. It's sort of like changing the resolution on your Macbook lower and seeing how it comes out all fuzzy.

it's the heaviest tv ever made for some reason, heavier than the big screens (i think it's the biggest glass tube). The guys who moved my stuff into my apartment were po'd about how heavy it is. Very clear res tho.

My 27" WEGA is also VERY HEAVY. Heaviest 27" I have ever tried to lift. I had to call my neighbor to help me lift it to the TV cabinet in my living-room. VERY HEAVY.
