Plasma HDTV vs. Old Tube TV…?
I currently have a 27″ tube TV that has served me extremely well since 1997 when I bought it new… I now have the opportunity to purchase a 42″ plasma…
I would NOT be upgrading my cable service “right away” for the HD package because I don’t watch a lot of TV per se, but rather I would be playing games on the PS3 and watching movies on Blu-ray…
I see many reviews of Plasma HDTV’s having mediocre picture quality when NOT viewing HD channels…
OK, now for the actual question: Would the Plasma TV picture be better than what I have now because of the new technology, or would the old tube tv perform just as well watching normal channels???
Using a HDTV (LCD or Plasma) to watch non-HD TV channels can result in a slightly “fuzzy” picture because the HDTV will upscale any video input to its native resolution. This operation can result in the picture being sort of “fuzzy”, just as if you took a picture on your computer and blew it up.
Even without upgrading your cable service, you actually are getting some channels in HD right now. Just as the cable company must carry all your local channels (NBC, CBS, FOX, etc.) they must ALSO carry those local digital and HD channels as well. So if you have your new TV scan for channels, you’ll not only get the normal channels (e.g. “3″) but also things like 3.1, which in most cases is the HD version (e.g. NBC-HD)
However if you wanted things like Food Network or Discovery Channel in HD, then you would need to upgrade your cable subscription.
