Are You Getting The HDTV Resolution You Expected?

Not necessarily...

It's now time for the 2006 models, and we have tested 61 new HDTVs using the 1080i HDTV format that most of the HDTV channels use (including CBS, NBC, CW, MTV HD, and Wealth HD), as well as the current HD DVD and Blu-ray disc players. The question is, does the latest crop of HDTVs retain all of the detail in the broadcast or HD disc and send it to the screens at its native resolution? Or do they fail to properly handle the signal, cutting the image resolution down by as much as 50 percent?

...and this...

First up was the deinterlacing test. The bad news is that 54.09 percent of the 61 sets failed.

We're 2 for 2;

Sony 32" LCD KLV32U100M
Polaroid 37" LCD FLM732

Both nice sets.

Those Polaroid flat panels do look nice.

I've seen them at reasonable prices in Circuit City.

It was surprising that some of the SONY models flunked.

Glad you got the good models, Doc!

I can't help but wonder, however, how many people have bought sub-standard HDTV monitors at a high price.

From the looks of that chart quite a few

The Sony we bought blind, but the when we bought the Polaroid the store had an HD DVD deck connected to one with a demo running. Nice....
