All this BF shit has me thinking about getting a TV/monitor… I kind of wanted a baller as 50+ one, but it’s too much money for a 1080p resolution. Since it’s going to be a monitor, it seems like the best bet would be to get an LCD. or would it be better to just get a 768p (or w/e it is) and make it 50"+ What would be more awesomer? > **[Toshiba 42HL196 - 42" HD 1080p high-definition LCD TV | BuyDig.com](https://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=TB42HL196)** > > Buy the Toshiba 42HL196 - 42" HD 1080p high-definition LCD TV at buydig.com, and receive fast, free shipping and a flexible return policy. > General > > ``` > * Product type > * LCD TV > > * Technology > * TFT active matrix > > * Diagonal size > * 42 in > > * Image aspect ratio > * 16:9 > > * HDTV compatible > * Yes > > * Digital TV Type > * High Definition TV > > * Width > * 40.9 in > > * Depth > * 4.8 in > > * Height > * 28.5 in > > * Weight > * 63.7 lbs > > ``` > > HDTV > > ``` > * Receiving HDTV > * The three common methods to receive HDTV broadcasts are via satellite-TV set-top box, cable system set-top box, and over-the-air reception from a digital HDTV broadcast station. > > * True HDTV > * True HDTV programming is broadcasted in one of two resolutions: 1080i or 720p. > > * Tuner options > * An HDTV-ready satellite or cable box will act as an outboard HDTV tuner for your digital HDTV or EDTV set that lacks a built-in HD tuner. > > ``` > > Video System > > ``` > * Resolution > * 1920 x 1080 > > * Comb filter > * 3D-Y/C digital > > * Image contrast ratio > * 800:1 > > * Pixel response time > * 8 ms > > * Viewing angle > * 176 degrees > > * Brightness > * 500 > > * Supported DTV Resolutions > * 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i > > ``` ---

see how under supported resolutions it doesnt list 1080i, thats ebcause this is just a 1080p monitor, and will not display 1080p nativley from blue ray or HD DVD or from a computer monitor, it may just be a mistype also the contrast ratio on that tv is shit, it should be 3000:1 or greater, if u wanna talk tvs PM me and ill hook u up ---
