Finally going HD

So I'm finally getting an HDTV sometime this week. First, is Vizio a good brand? And second, does blu-ray play well in a 26 inch HDTV that is supposedly 720P? Like will I be able to tell the difference from a DVD? Or will I be able to tell the difference only if it's a 32+ inches and 1080P?

I'm thinking of getting a Samsung but I heard good things about Vizio. Also, I'm getting a 26 inch. Nothing more since I'll be using it for my bedroom.

re: Finally going HD

Vizio is middle tier at best, so it doesnt touch Sony or Samsung.

you will be able to tell somewhat. 1080p isnt really noticeable above 720 until you get past the 40" size mark. it will look better than a DVD definitely, those are only 480 res.

Oh you'll be able to tell the difference. If I can tell the difference in my 20 inch LCD Monitor, then you can definitely tell on yours. =P

qtf. 720 is fine in smaller sizes. I have 1080p because my HDTV is 52 inches.

Alright, so I just found a Phillips 32 inches for $400 and a 26 inches Samsung for $390. I think I'll be getting the Phillips but is it a top tier brand like Samsung and Sony?

You have no idea how long I have been playing both my 360 and PS3 on an SDTV for.

When you plug in your HD TV you'll be like: "Oh, so this is how it's supposed to be". Then probably proceed with a face palm.

no, Phillips is pretty much high-middle tier. its inbetween the Sony/Samsung tier and Vizio tier. they are pretty good but not top quality.

if you already decided on getting a 26" for space reasons or whatever, that Samsung at $390 is a really good deal. but if you can fit a 32", then definitely for $10 more, for sure get the Phillips.

I can have an idea, since I've been doing it as well. I'm only thinking about getting one cause my current 13" is dying.

32" isn't as big as it seems. 26" Is quite small. I do suggest a 32".
