looking at the most competitive bracket in lcd tvs i have finally narrowed my choices down to 2 sets
1. Samsung 32a450 (series 4) --->36-37K
2. Sony KDL-32S2000----> around 40K
now there are a few queries that i had
1.) Since both are 1366*768 would a normal image resolution of 1280*720 on a 16:9 setup make the pixels appear rectangular or squarish and what effect will it have on the picture quality
2.) Reception and picture quality in terms of a hathway set box is not expected to be phenomenal but to get the best output should one be purchasing a dvd(1080i or 720p), hddvd(1080p), blue ray (on the mentioned sets)and why
3.) what is the difference in picture quality vis-a-vis 1080i or 720p dvd as both the sets support both the formats
4.) how does a full hd transmission (1920×1080p) run on the mentioned sets
5.) what kind of picture quality can i expect with a pc hooked up to the tv and a movie with the following specifications
Video: XVID 672x368 25.00fps 612Kbps [Video 0]
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 44100Hz stereo 112Kbps [Audio ]
