Just got a new Sony Bravia 32" 720p tv!!!

WOOOW. Haven't even plugged it in and I love it! my dad said "can you help pick-up this new tv cabinet" I thought it was suspicious. He has the cable and everything. He asked what was the best Tv, way back in October, he said it was for a friend, and he bought it! With a HDMI cable too!!!!! i am going to have to replay every game I have now!!!!

Will post pics, once set up!

Congratulations mate, I feel so jealous of you haha. Hope you enjoy it!

 

[Stoffinator]

That's the one I almost got last month. But I found a Samsung with one more HDMI and a $100 cheaper so I got it instead. But I do love the Bravia's.

Never had a HD. Hope I like it!!! Will post pics soon, taking a while to do all the cables, still haven't unpacked it!

Very true, SD doesn't look as good on a HDTV. This is because HDTV's have a higher native resolution (more pixels) than an SDTV does. So the TV downscales the image back to SD and that causes artifacts, pixelation and blur. But who cares, start buying BLU! SD sucks hard.

I have an LG that supports 1080i but I play on 720p as some games suffer from bad screen tear on 1080i. Might get a 1080p in the January sales and sell my other one but I'm dubious as to the difference in quality between the two resolutions.

 

[karbineftw]

doesnt the ps3 upscale dvds to 1080p? obvs not full but a near quality to? I know when i'm watching 24 on my tv it looks glorious, so much better than a DVD

I have a 42" downstairs, it's a make i've never heard of too! It's called an easytouch? haha
-could that be your's too?

ours is "sense" lol. My dad got it for £250 which isn't bad at all. High five for him having a nice boss
It's ok for them though as all they do is just watch the ocasional "corrie" LOL

 

[Apocalypse-]

Wow, £250! That's nice for a 42 lol!! We got our 42" bundled with my 60gb PS3, 3 games, and 2 blu-rays for £899! Last Christmas.

Oh don't start on coronation street lmao.

 

[RTs42]

cool thats really good to hear im sure you will love your new TV i also have an HD TV aswell and i love it so much

:lol: @conversation. Anyway, it looks lovely, just got it out of the box. my mum got pissed off when I said,"This one isn't even slimline!" which she though I was having a go at!

 

[Callo]

Congratulations! I can imagine how you feel. Just remember that, from now on, you are going to be spoiled and no SD signal will ever be good enough. Your "standard" has now been raised! :snicker

Don't forget to post pictures! Congratz!

 

[Tyrien]

To be honest I didn't know Sony would have Bravia on the shelf that are only limited to 720p. Grats though.

Ugh. Not worth calling it 1080p. In a technical sense yes the image will output in 1920x1080. It's still the same 480p image from the DVD though. The PS3 just does some smoothing to make it look less grainy and a little clearer than if you just had the TV adjust the image to fit to the screen.

Just set it up. Analogue tv is ****, my parents are blind, they think it is good! They love digital, although I can pick flaws in it easily! Anyway, haven't tried PS3 yet, but it is all set-up. Going to the dentist at half-past, will post pics when I get back.

 

[Callo]

Standard def signal will suffer on an HDTV. That's the small price you have to pay to enjoy HD. It's worth it!

 

[twilkinsonkgr]

Which model it is? And you will love it, HD is such a big step up.

grats, i recently helped my parents buy their 32" a few weeks ago for 499, we had a hard time choosing between the Bravia and Samsung but ultimately chose the Samsung.
We now have a 32" and a 64" and I cant use either for my ps3 so I hope to get a 32" in the next 3-4 months if the prices drop another 100 bucks. Im thinking that with Christmas so near, there will be alot of 32" hdtv to buy and once thats over stores will want to sell whats left and also since 2009 models will be coming up. So when 32" reaches 399 ill get to join the HDTV club. Ps3 games on my SDTV are such a waste, I know the graphics are amazing on alot of the games yet I cant experience it... yet.

Anyway grats, and hope I can get my 32" soon as well, maybe around the time Killzone 2 is out.
