T260HD vs. LN26A450 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV
850351
The LN26A450 is a lower resolution monitor(720P Vs 1080P). If your using it for HD TV only, than the picture might actually look better on the lower res monitor because that is the resolution HD TV is broadcast in. If you want the most out of your DVD's, BluRay's, and video games then go with the 1080P.

The short answer is "Yes". That was the model of plasma I own and used the board in. The TH50PHD7UY is 720p, not 1080p, but there was a notable difference in picture clarity and sharpness with the HDMI board.

I purchased the Samsung LN52A860S2F a couple of days ago and I was told by the merchant that these tv has a better picture quality then its predacessor, but I can't find that fact anywhere. I wonder if I got tricked in to paying $200 bucks more for nothing.

Regular (NON HD) TV always looks awful on the big screen HD TVs. Upgrade yourself to high def and never go back.

I just got a TCL L40FHDF11TA 40-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV with 2-Year Warranty, Black. Do you mind to tell me the Item # in MonoPrice.com if you also have 40-Inch? Thanks so much.

Go for Samsung UN50H6350 50-Inch 1080p... Its a way better than plasma, also you will save on electricity bill. Plasma consume more electricity

I don't know how much help I can be but I'll give it a shot. I bought the Samsung because I own a Samsung LCD 46" bought in '08. I was quite happy with that TV so I stuck with the Samsung brand. I really think the 46" has a better picture than the 65" LED. Could be because of a consequential loss of picture clarity that comes with larger screen sizes. The UN65 has a dual core processor but if you're really into "smart," I recommend the quad core (more money of course). I subscribe to NFL game replays and they won't load well (and therefore can't view) with the dual core; I have to use my quad core computer. I think the UN has a really reasonable price, but you generally get what you pay for (as the old saying goes). Bottom line . . . I like the UN65 but, at the same time, I am a little disappointed. The only way you'll ever know is to look at them side-by-side and remember, showrooms do not have real-life broadcasts (in most instances) so when you get one home, your picture may not be a great as in the showroom. Hope this helps somewhat and good luck!

Good eye, sir. I do see where you are correct on Canon's website. I missed that detail in the comparison. Normally I'd say I wouldn't notice the difference in quality, but given I'll be putting this on my 56 inch HDTV, I bet it will be noticeable. The HF100 does feel cheaper. The extra bulk from the HDD makes the unit more managable. That plus the menu makes it less appealing.I would say the extra $65-70 is justifiable given the 60gb of included space, especially considering if you can get your hands on a 32gb SD card you'll be paying well over $100. Maybe in a year it will be <$100, but by then these camcorders will be cheaper anyway. I've made up my mind on the HG20! Good eye, sir. I do see where you are correct on Canon's website.

The best enhancement for the TV would be the Z623 THX setup. Yeah it's $131 vs $50 but the difference between the 2 is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a LN52B750 after a great deal of research. Unfortunately, I cannot take anymore of the fake looking/soap opera/camcorder type picture with this tv, especially after adjusting to minimize blurring. Due to headache and visual strain, I even stopped watching this tv and I am sending it back for a plasma. Hope that helps.

The only reason I can see is that Samsung discontinued this t.v, and with the overall design is not as space efficient as any of Samsungs other dlp televisions. I have this one and also a 720p set by samsung which I bought in 10-2006. Just to let you know, Samsung also has on sale a 50" DLP 720p set for $899. I bought this one, and gave the 720p set to my parents, and to be honest with you I didnt notice a difference at all. If youre just breaking into the HD world, Id suggest getting one of the HLT models from samsung that is on sale now on amazon. You wont notice a difference, save yourself hundreds, and will less likely have problems with the set, as I and many others have with this particular model.

There are only two differences (besides price). The 85 has 30,000:1 contrast ratio vs. the 80's 20,000:1. Side by side the average buyer would not notice the difference, and viewed separately definitely not missed. Second, the 85 has an SVGA PC input, which in my opinion is a joke because it doesn't utilize the full 1080p anyway (only 720p at best). You would need a laptop or PC with a video card capable of either HDMI out to HDMI in on the TV, or DVI out using a DVI-HDMI cable for HDMI into the TV to get the full 1080p from a laptop or PC - assuming you even care about using the TV in that capacity in the first place. My advice is save your $$, buy the 80, and put the savings into a new or upgraded HT setup or BD player if you haven't bought one yet. A $218 difference (27% increase in price) for very little benefit is nothing to take lightly.

Depending on which model you get there are two different "HD" resolutions. The MB168B has a resolution of 1366 x 768 HD. The MB168+ is the full 1920 x 1080 HD version of the monitor. The lower priced model, MB168B might be 720 HD if that helps you understand the difference. Tv's work in 720HD and 1080HD. Naturally the 1080 is the higher image quality and higher resolution. It might also be affected by the usb port used. The full effects such as brightness and best image quality require the usb 3.0 connection. It will work on usb 2.0 but not to its potential.

samsung ln52b630 is on a swivel stand so the viewing angle is fixed as in wall-mounted LCDs. you can swivel the HDTV to be at the viewing angle desired! : )

I am certainly no TV guru but, I had purchased the LN40A550 & returned it & bought the LN40A650 & could not be happier! We noticed immediately that the picture looked faded on the 550 & went to one of the local retailers & found that this is a common complaint on these units. They actually had a LN40A550 & LN40A650 side by side in the store & there is a huge difference. We are very impressed with the picture quality regardless of what we are watching. We have had many friends commenting on the awesome picture on this TV. Hope this helps. Les

At 1920x1200, the T260HD is a 16:10 ratio, but it can support a 4:3 ratio. It will just have black bars on the left an right of the screen. As for connection, your options are HDMI, DVI or VGA (which is listed as included in the box). You'll have to look at your laptop to see what your video card can output. Note that with DVI and VGA, there will be no audio. That will require a different cable.

Hi Michael...I'm over here in Saudi Arabia. I have a 3 year old 50" widescreen Samsung LCD with DVI input (through the component in it will play 720p and 1080i). You seem to be very knowledgable and my question to you is....If I buy the Toshiba HD and get the HDMI to DVI adapter do you think I will be able to watch HD on this TV????.....Anyone??? I do have a Samsung 32" widescreen HDTV ready in the bedroom so I will be able to use it there if it doesn't work on the other one downstairs.
