Newbie Needs Advice	Can't Post

Hey there, I just started researching hd tv sets. Just to give you a little info, i will be purchasing digital cable with HD and i'll also be using the set for playing my videogames. I've been checking out a view sets which include the jvc HD-52G886, the samsung HL-R5668W and the toshiba HD 52HM95. I guess my biggest dilema is whether or not to get a set with the 720 or 1080 resolution. I know 1080 is the newest techology but i've read that is has problems with fast motions. Would that be a problem for my videogames or watching sports. Also my viewing distance is about 7 feet, also i'm trying to keep my budget below 2500. I'd like stay in b/w 52 and 56 inches. I'm looking for any suggestions or comments that you can give me. Thanks in advance for responding.

First the 1080p sets will not accept a 1080p source,right now they only upconvert to 1080p.The newer sets will accept a 1080p source.

Make sure you get a extended service agreement that includes a free bulb replacement.Bulb life varies by user and set.Replacement bulbs $250-$399.

Can you get service in your area for each brand of tv you are considering?

Pick the one that you like the most,all three are good choices.

I don't understand what you mean by this,

"Can you get service in your area for each brand of tv you are considering? "

I though digital cable is digital cable. Also what do you think would be best for my situation??

Anyone????

Repair service for your set if it needs repairs.

A HD signal is any of three types

1-1080i

2-720p

3-1080p

Right now the sets can only accept a 1080i and 720p HD signal and pass it directly to the sets.

A 1080p set now recieves a 1080i or 720p signal now and upconverts it to 1080p.

Your best picture comes when a signal goes directly without opconversion.

If you see a set with a picture you like,just buy it.

Enjoy watching it.
