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.

the samsung 4 series LN32A450 is around 588 right now. will it look okay with regular shaw digital cable?

[hi5-ive]

any lcd with just reg shaw digital cable will look like shit.

i dont need or want high def though. ill try it n see how it is.

[hi5-ive]

[!Aznboi128]

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

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 did. i grabbed a samsung 32" but its a bit too big for my room. im gonna try and find a 27"

[simsimi1004]

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?

some channels are better than others, here Spike looks like absolute shit. it you're in Van search up how to get HD over the air.

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.
