Faye Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 only 55", pfft its just a toy Quite agree! Don't know why you didn't got for the 102inch they've got kicking around in John Lewis in London, its a snip at £50k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Quite agree! Don't know why you didn't got for the 102inch they've got kicking around in John Lewis in London, its a snip at £50k well I'm spoilt, I can get a 300" picture, that is 300"/50" = 6 times the diagonal, or 6^2 = 36 times bigger lol, you would need 36 55" plasmas to fill that area. Although in the front room typically we use a tichy little 80" picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Is the TV becoming a replacement for the car as a penis extension?? I've just got a 37" Plasma for the living room. All my mates have bought 42"s and bigger recently. Considering i've got the biggest living room they're all going to be blind within months.!!! I Suppose my time will come when the size of your living room is the new penis extension!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 makes me feel inadequate now with my 37 inches. I've been tolds its not about the size its how you watch it that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 lol, phwoooar have I told you about the size of my living room? lol couldn't agree more, its what you watch that counts I just like the home cinema experience from time to time, love a good film me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 1080p ? It has a 1080p processor in it but I think it scales it too 1080i or 720p, apparently, there is very little difference between 720p and 1080p unless your watching it on a very very large screen. Plus the 1080p screens are still very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the 1080p screens are still very expensive. I've just come back from the states again, and the prices there are so cheap for 1080p sets, I agree with the res thing, but seeing some of the 50-70inch pictures on 1080p running demos off Blue-ray was pretty damn astonishing. Even some rear projection units were amazing quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I take it your running a projector then? yep been using a projector for a couple of years now I'm also partial to a decent film every now and then, I'm especially looking forward to the new transformers film http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/transformers_hd.html But HD gaming has taken over my life, gears of was is not the same on a small standard definition screen. I've heard that high def gaming it pretty cool I don't get a lot of time to play games, but I loved grand tourismo on the projector with the stereo turned up. With the screen taking up all your vision it's very imersing - after a while it starts to feel real lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even some rear projection units were amazing quality. I'm waiting for 1080p to become more standard before buying a new HD set. PS3 + XBox both support 1080p. Isn't there a rule saying you should optimally sit 2.5 times the diameter away from the screen or something? The ludicrous thing is how many people buy HUGE screens in tiny rooms to see all the artifacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ludicrous thing is how many people buy HUGE screens in tiny rooms to see all the artifacts. your right about the 360 and the PS3 supporting 1080p, but none of the games are coded in it, all are 720p. There is not enough processing power in either of them to render at 1920x1080. The only 1080p aspect is the blue ray films and HDDVD. But like I said, according to avforums, 1080p is not discernibly different to the naked eye from 720p unless your viewing it on a screen the is mahooossive.
