OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I just threw down 480 for a 37-inch JVC 1080p LCD.  It's beautiful and, in my opinion, appropriately sized for the apartment.

Any HDTV you get should be 1080p, as most HD programming will be native 1080p in the future.  Gotta think prospectively, as well.

Kinda true, kinda not.

First, broadcast TV will not be in 1080p for quite a while.  While the cameras can handle it, the data compression for the allowable bandwidth will not.  It's 720p or 1080i on broadcasts for the foreseeable future.

Additionally, the human eye is not good enough to discern between 1080i and 1080p at screen sizes under 42".  Having 1080p on a 37" screen is nice, but it does as much for you as a stereo speaker that goes up to 40,000 Hz.

Ehh, it works for me.  But you are probably right.

Sam's Club.  Fucking State of California made me pay an extra $25 for an e-waste recycling fee, but otherwise, I couldn't pass it up.  The reviews are pretty good.  I think Consumer Reports gave it 8/10, deducting for there being only 2 HDMI inputs.

2 HDMI on a 37" is no big deal.  Very few people use that size as a primary set and, therefore, aren't hooking in a cable/sat box, a blu-ray, and a digital stereo setup.

Oh, la de da, there, Mr.

I connect my PS3 and my Directv HDMI cable to the tv, and I'm as happy as a clam. 

The sound is surprisingly great, as well.

Maybe a question for my fellow nerds, but will any HDMI cable work with a 360?
