happy viewing! mememe, for tv-smarties: I saw plp advised to not necessarily get 1080 for a big boy; but I do want it for a smaller one, yes? -- nm - b. Dec 15, 15:25 15
- Other way around. The bigger the tv, the more important the higher resolution is. - pmb Dec 15, 15:27 14
  - it would have been helpful if I had asked about the correct thing (oops, sorry). I meant to ask about 120hz! -- nm - b. Dec 15, 15:32 13
    - HZ is all about blur in action. So sports, action movies, never go lower than 120hz and bigger shows the flaws more imo -- nm - Bacon Dec 15, 15:34
    - That relates to the refresh rate. The higher the number, the smoother the motion. More important for sports than a lot of other things. -- nm - pmb Dec 15, 15:33 11
      - thanks, guys! the look of some things, including sports broadcasts, is part of what's finally pushed me to seek something new and enter the flat - b. Dec 15, 15:40 10
        
        One thing to consider is that the new tvs take up a lot less space than the old ones, so I would go with the biggest tv you can fit in the space. The - pmb Dec 15, 15:43 6
        
        that's what I'm doing - I wish it could be somewhat bigger, but I'd have to replace furniture or rewire or move. ;) - -- nm - b. Dec 15, 15:56 5
        
        re. IM. sardine?... I am a hermit with 2200 sq.' :))) -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 16:31 2
        
        maybe just seemingly antisocial, since I wouldn't invite people over if they'd have to sit on the floor or my bed in another room. -- nm - b. Dec 15, 16:35 1
        
        :)))) -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 16:38
        
        Just move. There's nothing more important than a gigantic tv. ;) -- nm - pmb Dec 15, 16:23 1
        
        Because, USA. -- nm - Ultron Dec 15, 16:24
        
        You are a SF Giants fan. As boring as I find regular season baseball? Baseball looks amazing in HD flat screen. -- nm - Bacon Dec 15, 15:42 1
        
        yah, I've seen how good things look. I just haven't been able to justify, to myself, replacing something that works.. until it's gotten annoying - b. Dec 15, 15:57
        
        yes on the IM. that is why I spent a few hundred more for the 3D. over time there will be alot more of these to watch. some will even be good :) -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 15:41
nice! -- nm - Remlik Dec 15, 15:06
3D wasn't important to you right? If so you are good -- nm - Bacon Dec 15, 15:03 2
- correct. not important, but to have the capability is nice -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 15:14 1
  - We only have 7 titles in 3D but you are correct. It's nice when you want to use it. -- nm - Bacon Dec 15, 15:15
