For Christmas, we got a PSP3 (mostly for the Blu-Ray feature) and a new Samsung 52" LCD 120hz tv.

Btw - stay away from Mitsubishi DLP sets - had ours just over two years went down three times - currently down and when it gets fixed I'm giving to my dad.

Man-oh-man! The picture quality on any of the HD channels and Blu-Ray (we got The Dark Knight) are almost too vivid!!! Almost 3D in the clarity.

Regualr DVDs are improved as well but still not as good.

We watch "The Bucket List" off HBO HD and when they traveled abroad it was amazing it felt like we were there... all through the movie my wife and I marvelled at the quality.

Just had to share!

 

psp3?

yea i know what u mean my dad got a samsung 47" with a blu ray player, and its amazing.

 

extra P. I'm sure he meant PS3

 

Sorry - yeah, just the PS3

Figured if I'm going to get a Blu-Ray, why not one with wireless internet and play some awesome games...

 

I have a 32" Vizio plasma. I like it but its only 720p not full 1080p still has a great picture though.

 

we have the ps3 with a 46" samsung.....my wife said the same thing when she saw blu-ray ....holy **** .......lol
im working on my collection of them....anybody want good luck chuck?...ill sell it to ya for 10$....

 

Do you think the 120Hz sets are honestly worth the premium? I'm asking genuinely - I'm replacing my 48" flat-screen RPTV this coming year with an LCD and I'm curious if you feel the 120 is worth it costwise over a standard 1080p LCD.

 

mine is a regular 60hz LCD, we dont get any ghosting........its sooooo vivid, it looks 3-d
we also have a 10,000:1 contrast ratio.....which helps with that....

 

Honestly, I don't know - the Samsung's contrast ratio is 50,000:1 so I don't know if it's the contrast or the 120hz. But I see absolutely no ghosting. Speaking of contrast - Samsung had a lesser size model at 60hz that had 1 million:1 contrast. Comparing the two sets I truly couldn't tell that great of a difference.

It's funny on regular stations you still get the detail blur (when something is still you can see every freckle and wrinkle but if they move in the slightest they disappear). On the HD channels and Blu-Ray discs you see every detail even with motion.

I just wish the cable company would move up to 1080p instead of 1080i currently. Only DirectTV offers that kind of signal....

 

i want verizon Fios...but alas...i live in the boonies, all i can get is comcast 1080i....
