Well I finally broke down and got a HDTV. I am currently using a 35" Sony CRT so this will be a big change for us. I ordered a Samsung HLS5687W. Its a 1080p 56" set. I actually got Circuit City to come close to matching TVAuthority.com's low price. They also tossed in free delivery.
I am still trying to understand all these connections. I am currently at Comcast analog so I don't suspect that it will look to hot. However I also ordered the Samsung HL960 Upconverting DVD player.
I would really like to get my MCE box connected so I might need to upgrade the grapchics card. Something like a Nvidia 6600 maybe. The TV has a PC input and people on the AV forum say they have used the DVI-HDMI cable also with good results. Still all new to me.
I am waiting on my HDMI cables from Monoprice. Also ordered a OTA antenna just to try and see whats out there. Still looking for good websites that list what shows are broadcast in HD in the Detroit area. So the set gets here on Thursday and the cables on Friday... so it will be fun I hope.. lol
Some people suggested to order AVIA Guide to Home Theater. CC gives a couple DVD's when you get the extended warrenty so I guess I will try that first.
