When you buy the PS3, what type of TV would you be using?

[Xerxes]

I don't know if they had a thread like this, but:

When I buy the PS3 I will have a regular old TV. But later, I am getting a Samsung 50" 1080p Full HD DLP Projection TV with Dual HDMI High Definition Inputs. It only will cost me $2699.99. I am getting it in August of next year for my birthday. The price would have died down to about $1999.99. How about you?

[Effulgence]

Philips 32" LCD HDTV native 720p

[Viper]

I'll be kicking it on my 25" common, regular Joe SDTV, biyatches.

[Jubal]

Been racking my brains about this for a while, I might get this 26 inch (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824022009), or this 32 inch (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824022013), depending on my budget and whether I want the TV on the wall, thinking I might just get a 26 inch. I'd love to get one of the Bravia's, but I can't qualify for financing :(

[MaceSin]

28" SDTV... I have an HDTV but it's in the living room and I'd rather play in my room... away from the roomies.

[HolyPaladin]

I still don't expect that I'll have the cash to spare for a PS3 for quite some time, but if and when I do get one and if at that time I still have my present set, it'll be a 27" SDTV, and not even flatscreen. If my financial situation ever improves to the point that I can blow this kind of cash, I'm not sure whether I'll get a HDTV or PS3 first.

[Saibo]

I'll be using the PS3 mostly with my 20" samsung LCD monitor! 1080P shouldnt be a problem :P

[Sephiroth_VII]

My 21" PC CRT monitor, which easily achieves 1080p. Any advice on which adapter I'll need?

[Applefiend]

HDMI to DVI if you can.

I'm using an HP 23 inch LCD Monitor with component inputs, HP 2335. Currently have a PS2, Dreamcast, Saturn, Gamecube and.. 360 plugged into it. Goes higher res than 1080p, 1920x1200 at 60Hz. Under my table there's a Sony Home Cinema System pumping out 5.1 DD.

Not into big TVs for games. I'd like a 1080p 26 inch TV as real TVs are better for older games.

LOL!

Same here! Even down to TV size and it being a SDTV. Lemme add that mine's Flatscreen ;)

[{Delta}]

I am going to hold off to purcahsing a PS3 for a while, but all of my consoles will be on a 27' HDTV Panasonic CRT.

1080i,720p TV with HDMi port.

[venomv]

26" SDTV, or maybe my 15" SDTV depending on where I put it.

[Hrama]

A 16 year old Philips Magnavox 13" with the fake wood look on the sides. Doesn't accept anything but Coaxial, but is solid as a rock in quality. Beat that Byotches!

[Nameless]

Using a 50" HD LCD Hitachi with DVI...
Eventually will upgrade to 1080P, but it's not a priority...

[lshian]

Fuk first thing I will get PS3, it my TV cant coupe up I will definitely get a HDTV and that for sure.

[RavenFox]

Sony Wega HD-HDMI. Bring it on Sony.

[GTShotoKen]

Of course I will use my portable 9" RCA television with built in FM radio.

The color on it is not that great, but I will manage.

j/k

I will have to use my old Sony WEGA for the time being, until I upgrade.

[Goki]

Either my Panasonic CRT 28 inch at hom (able to show 100hz, what ever that means)
Or go to my uncles (who live 2 mins) and play on his CRT 32 inch Panasonic (also does 100hz)

[Leedogg]

26" Widescreen Toshiba HDTV CRT with an HDMI input

[LaLiLuLeLo]

My 20" daewoo sdtv. woot.

[Virtual]

27" crappy

Hopefully if I save enough..I can get a better one...even tho my family is in a bind for $$

[Raitei]

Rocking it with a 20" Phillips SD.
SCART style baby

Might pop over to my run of the mill 17" CRT PC monitor [or better if i manage to get my new system as planned]. But it's only vga, how would one go about sticking a PS3 to this?. What cables for high def?

[sif]

Going from a 14" Philips crt, to a Bravia 26" S-series lcd HDTV at some point before launch. I know I am paying a premium over a Samsung/Toshiba/JVC, but their SD PQ almost makes me physically sick, and CRT HDTV's do not exist in Europe.

Sif, I know it's asking a lot, but I would suggest waiting till next year before making a new TV purchase. I would guarantee prices will drop, plus new 1080P televisions with better refresh rates will hit the market later this year. That's my 2 cents...

[LinpinWangyFoot]

if i have to buy it on a gas powered TV i'm getting one. i recently bought a sterio system for £670 so whats the problem?

Heh I just found a HDTV CRT in Currys today, from samsung. I was well shocked aswell, they are extremely hard to find.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

yeah if I do get an hdtv ever it's gonna be next year at the earliest. Maybe I'll be able to find one by then for 500 or less.

[ddaryl]

Well if size matters in this thread then I'm a weiner

56" Toshiba DLP set HM195. It has the 1080p TalexX light engine, which means it accepts up to a 1080i input but upscales everything to 1080p. It's got a great picture and my Xbox 360 looks great on it.

dear not quite ; p ♪

[OmniCloud]

I'm gonna get a panasonic 27in. 720p from Circuit City when it drops a little more. I thing 720p would be fine. A buddy of mine told me you can only tell the difference if you have a 1080p TV right next to it so I'm gonna go ahead and get one for about $500-whenever it gets that low.

The thing is, on anything less than 40" 1080p is pretty pointless IMO, and I only need a 26" for my pokey university accomodation, plus it is all I can afford. The cheapest 1080p panel in the UK is £3300, OR £6000 if you want a plasma, something a student may struggle with. Thanks for the advice though :thumbr:

[Viano]

is Bravia expensive in UK? Sony is gonna release the new version of Bravia(new DRC chip) so the price is prolly gonna drop. Plus, I think all the HDTV price will drop after PS3 launches. loL.

[Xerxes]

What monitors can hook up with a PS3? I am trying to find out so I could just buy a cheap one (300-1000) this year and still be able to get a 1080p next year. I want to game in HD! :)

Does this screen have HDMI input??

[Mitri]

I'm going to be using the same old 480i tv. that i've been usin since early days of the xbox. i don't see the need to invest in a pricey hdtv just yet. maybe after this one gets really old or something.

[venomv]

I won't be getting one till they fall under $300. Maybe $400......

[Angeljuice]

I'm currently using my 32" Samsung HDTV, for a PC monitor, I bought it to do High Def video editing with my HDR-FX1e 1080i Handycam. I can't wait for PS3 for Blu-Ray alone as my new TV REALLY SHOWS HOW POOR DVD IMAGES ARE.
It's like looking at old VHS tapes, except worse because of all the digital artefacts (sometimes noisey VHS images enhanced the viewing pleasure by hiding poor special effects etc in a grainy image).
Anyway, those that say we're not ready for HDTV are just plain wrong (IMO).

Oh and by the way, have you ever tried an SD Web Browser, It's a headache inducing nightmare of fuzzy unreadable content. HDTV is needed now.

Heard a review about this TV and people looking forward to watching Full HD movie hooking up Playstation 3 or HD DVD, BlueRay player to 2407 using DVI-HDMI cable will be disappointed. From all reviews available now 2407 cant display 1080i picture. 480p and 720p picture is Okay though. So...I'm not getting it if it can not display a 1080i picture. It will only work with DVI-D HDCP which is worthless to me. Dont buy it. Bravia it is then. :)

[Fredag]

14" crt.

I could buy a new today, but I'll wait 'til spring 2007. I can't afford to buy a new set every year, so I'll get it right the first time. The PS3 will live for 6 years atleast. And thats why HDTV @ release is not THAT important. If i'm not fully pleased with the set I'll wait even longer. It will add to the replay value of my already purcased games so much more if I just hold on 'til the perfect set arrives...

[LaLiLuLeLo]

I'm just waiting for the price range on the smaller ones to go down to a few hundred bucks.

DVI I think

i will be using that in about next 2 months

[Goki]

ive got a question, these so called strange resolution screens, of 768 rather than 720, do they do any upscaling to the picture, if the picture is being sent in 720p ??
