I am interested in this....
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...A3944%3A133276
It says resolution 1366x768 so is this a native widescreen signal I would be getting?

1.77 yup!
just take 1366/768
i.e. 16:9 16/9=1.7777
or 4:3 4/3=1.33333
that'll display 720p no problem. definetly HD.

If I wanted to, I could have spent 80k on my Home Theater, the money wasn't an object. For this size range in plasma, there is nothing better then the new panasonic consumer I showed him, or any of the panasonic commercial displays. I looked at the panasonic he wants to buy and the consumer model i said right next to eachother. There was absolutely no comparison in both HD and SD material. Maybe he thinks I am the devil and I am tricking him into something.
you told me how to save $500 on a TV and maybe 1K on cables.I stopped at looked at both the ED and the "HD" and the HD model looked better to me on both non-HD and HD content, so case and thread closed. By the way, you guys make great salesmen
.....And you assholes have given me reason to stay away from forums....Thanks.

.....And you assholes have given me reason to stay away from forums....Thanks.I would bet it wasn't the model I showed you and you looked at the old model. You could buy the 42" commercial for 1700, thats 1400 saved. Another 1000 from cables. 1000 from buying that POS speaker. Right there we are up to 3400. Like I said, enjoy your TV. For 4k less, I have two better looking TV's according to every A/V person in the world, and the sound setups are much better. But don't worry you did the best job ever of pissing away lots of money on a shitty TV. Here is a trophy.

I don't like being called an asshole for your own ignorance. I don't re-call putting you down in any way or form. You are however welcome to your own opinion... I just tried to explain to you WHY the picture would look better. It is apparant you cannot comprehend the technology involed to make this decision.
At this point move on or shut-up in this thead... everyone tried to give you good honest advice. But you had your mind already made up because it says "HD" on it... even if we told you it caused brain cancer watching the set you'd still want to buy it...
I'll continue on my clueless bad salesmen ways, your continue in your ignorance...
enjoy your marketing "HD" TV. ta ta
As I said before
enjoy your new TV when you get it.to each his own

I haven't even touched on your comments yet, but I'll start.
Yes, any person will easily be able to tell the difference between 1024x768 on a 16:9 vs 1920x1080 on a 16:9 display it's night and day.
Second your missing the fact that HD will not be displayed in 1024x768.. nor on your 1024x1024 display. WHY? because they have 1st down scale the resoltion, second they have to do a 16:9 to 4:3 conversion.
End the end you end up with a nasty looking EDTV image when you do the 16:9 to 4:3 conversion. Why does it look worse? because your doing image interpolation and stretching. Where as a native 16:9 resolution screen will not need any of this image manipulation.
your 1024x1024 screen has a 1:1 aspect ratio. That's totally jacked.
1920x1080 (1080i)= 1.78:1 ratio
1280x7290 (720p)=1.78:1 ratio
------ your plasma resolutions ---------------
1024x1024 (no standard exists)=1:1 ratio
1024x768 (UXGA)= 1.33:1
Both 1080i and 720p have to be converted with major signal loss to be viewed on either of those 2 non standard TV resoltions. Pixels will not even be square. Which is why it will look like ass in comparison to a 1080i DLP, CRT, LCoS/whatever TV which has a proper 16:9 native resolution.
And finally, not all SD TV is analog. You can send a 480p signal digital all the way to your cable box, and then digital to your TV. 480p which comes out of your DVD player on a DVI/1394/HDMI is digital.

You sir, would make Darwin proud. I would be willing to bet Dave knows more about MS Exchange then you and whatever other cheese dick computer terms you spewed out. You pissed people off because we explained the FACTS very simply and showed you why the TV you want to buy quite honestly sucks. I am sure those 10 random people would listen to what the fuck were saying instead of sticking their heads up their ass and ignoring us. I will gladly make a new post telling everyone who bought a HDTV with a resolution the same as yours that they are a fucking moron. Any other requests?

How do you know what I know about exchange? your arrogant, and ignorant. Do you know what I do for a living? and the scale of which I do it? Let me say my customer base is probably signficantly higher than yours. I have ran e-mail servers that host to 22 million people. Even helped redesigned/implemented a new system for all 22 m customers. Please tell me your experience...
I tried to explain to you WHY a 1024x768 screen will not turn out to be any better than a EDTV for anything 16:9 ie HD or DVD's. You didn't listen... Go on AVS forums. You'll find there is TONS of people who ALREADY say the EDTV looks better, for the reasons I TRIED to explain to you...
I did NOT call you an asshole. I did get frustrated with you, even applogized for my frustration.
I'm not going to compare $$ with you, yes I could EASILY afford a $9k multimedia setup. I already have more than $9k in just class-A amplifiers sitting around...

I notice you did not touch on my subject of color temperature, because it proves my point that a lot of things, however technically accurate they are, are still subjective. I am not trying to argue technical facts, because I understand them and understand their importance, I am just trying to illustrate that everyone is different, what looks good to one person does not always look good to the next person. I personally enjoy watching HD content on my display regardless of how it is achieved...
Note: In that context I was reffering to SD as analog, because the SD content I receive that is in 480p looks just fine on my display, analog is the only thing that does not look good.

You are the dumbest person I have ever met. You posted "No, I will be enjoying my nice setup while jealous haters like you will wish they had 9K to spend." Saying that I cannot afford 9k in A/V equipment. So I posted a picture of my porsche and I will be happy to go take a picture of my cadillac. So moron, like I said is there anything else I cannot afford?

I tried to explain to you WHY a 1024x768 screen will not turn out to be any better than a EDTV for anything 16:9 ie HD or DVD's. You didn't listen... Go on AVS forums. You'll find there is TONS of people who ALREADY say the EDTV looks better, for the reasons I TRIED to explain to you...
I did NOT call you an asshole. I did get frustrated with you, even applogized for my frustration.
I'm not going to compare $$ with you, yes I could EASILY afford a $9k multimedia setup. I already have more than $9k in just class-A amplifiers sitting around...
And yes, I setup e-mail systems for large companies also, blah, blah, blah...

So moron, like I said is there anything else I cannot afford?

I notice you did not touch on my subject of color temperature, because it proves my point that a lot of things, however technically accurate they are, are still subjective. I am not trying to argue technical facts, because I understand them and understand their importance, I am just trying to illustrate that everyone is different, what looks good to one person does not always look good to the next person. I personally enjoy watching HD content on my display regardless of how it is achieved...
Note: In that context I was reffering to SD as analog, because the SD content I receive that is in 480p looks just fine on my display, analog is the only thing that does not look good.

Oh I dont disagree on color temp. It's like having a set of near field studio monitors that are +/- 1dB from 90hz to 20k. They will reproduce music as the original recording artist intended. However some folks are accostomed to hearing music way colorized, and they EQ it. Or buy speakers that have way too much bass or treble.
NOW, color temp and video resolution are two different things both are subjective. If I took a 1080 LCoS rear projection TV and his "HD" 1024x768 TV and put them next to one another with a 1080i signal going into it. The difference would be night and day...
In the audio world, this would be like listening to a 64kbit MP3 and a 320KBIT. 64kbit being his "HD" tv, and 320kbit being a LCoS 1080 TV. Difference is night and day...
Ya, analog sucks
I look forward to the day the cable companies stop doing it for the low channels.However I have 400+ channels, only 60 of are analog. 16 of them are HD (with only 6 full time HD)

You just told me I can't afford 9k in A/V equipment, I posted 250k in cars. Answer that.

I just wanted to add, the problem ISN'T the resolution here. It's aspect ratio.
1024x768 and 1024x1024 should only be used on a SQUARE 4:3 TV. PERIOD.
Both are NOT widescreen resolutions. THIS is where the problem comes in...
Do you see what I'm getting at?
