An HD device is simply something that can display or send a signal that is 720p or greater. 720p is 1080x720 progressive scan and in wide screen format. All computer monitors are progressive scan. Thus if you have a monitor that is wide screen format and has at least a resolution of 1080x720...

You are entirely correct about the issue being the resolution. If you are connecting your PC to your TV and trying to output a resolution that your TV cannot support it will give you that message. For example, if your TV is only 1080i compatible and you are trying to run it with a computer...

Basic cable will work with the TV provided they get a cable box with the service that has the RCA red, white, yellow composite cable output. Every cable box that I have seen has these so that should not be an issue. I am sure that you could always just contact the cable company and get a box...

Component cannot do 1080p. Either way, I have read many reports form people who claim that their Xbox360 is displaying 1080p on their TV through component(it is probably just up-conversion by the TV). Component is not truly capable of 1080p because the total bandwidth of component cables is not...

Upscaling DVD players do not use HDCP, HDCP is(at current) only used with Blu-Ray players/discs and HD-DVD players/discs. As of right now I do not know of many, if any movies that use HDCP yet, the idea of making sure you have HDCP compatible hardware now is so that when they begin to use HDCP...

It should not matter at all video quality wise if you go component or HDMI. This is because (as far as I know) there is not broadcast station that goes over 1080i right now and component can do 1080i just fine. Just don't expect component cables to do 1080p very well. There may be a noticeable...

I recently bought a 1080p Samsung to go with my PS3, and at least for me it is worth every single penny. I am a bit of an A/Vphile though so I can easily tell the benefit. Blu-Ray looks even better the theaters. I have the movie CRANK on it which looks the best so far in my opinion. Some scenes...

If I were you I would go with the one that has HDMI if you have a receiver that can decode audio from the HDMI cable. The converter DVD box outputs to 720i/p and 1080i/p so you should have nothing to worry about. The other benefit of the HDMI box is it allows you to transfer audio over your...

At that price there is no truly excellent model of TV that you can get. However I can suggest a few within that range I will also suggest to you one that is out of your price range in case you can stretch your budget just a bit. First off whatever you do, do not get plasma if you plan on doing...
