I saw a Samsung Series 3 at Costco for $540ish? I got the same one last August for around $600 and I'm happy with it.

just stick with samsung, LG isnt that great and when your getting a samsung try the 4 series 3 is okay but 4 series isnt much more for better features

-vancityguy- 03-15-2009 06:30 PM

i find the 32" a bit too much for my room. my room is pretty cramped as is so combined with a small space and reg digital cable the picture is not that great. i wonder if i drop down to a 26-27" if the picture would improve since it is smaller?

go to a futureshop / bestbuy / costco etc and look at some tvs in person.

yea i think 24 is a bit small. ill take a look and see what 26-27's are available though.

40 would be way to big for my room. ill still look into some other model of 32's and 26-27 also. anyone know tv's seem to look okay with regular digital cable?

all you need is a coathanger, an old piece of coaxial cable (think regular TV cable, cable) and a cheap connector from pretty much any electronics store.

there's a thread about it somewhere on here

Only downside is that you can really only pull in 2-3 channels from OTA HD. It's not like in the US where all the major channels have an OTA broadcast.

SD TV on a smaller TV will look better than one on a larger TV. It's not going to be crisp/sharp as a HD broadcast, but it'll look better just because the size of the picture is smaller.

yea see rite now i got a 19" sharp aquos and the picture looks awesome w/regular digital cable, no blur or grainy shit, nothing. i just attributed that to the smaller size of the screen though.
