Not sure if this belongs here, but I did make my way over to the av forums, and did not know where to begin.
Anyways, I am simply just looking for some advice/input on what I plan on purchasing soon. I plan on buying a Samsung 46 inch tv, 1080p. I see there are about 3-4 models of what I want, and after some research, figured out that two of these 4 models are differenent because 1 of them has a glossy screen to help replicate that of a plasma. I plan on going for that one (200 bucks more)
A question I do have is, whats the difference with the built in tv things? cards or tuners? I see the price is higher on the models with the internal tv thing.
I am on optimum right now, and plan on upgrading to the high def digital cable box. Also, heres another one. I am not currently using digital cable, so when I do upgrade, will some of my channels be in HD, or will i have a whole new selection of channels? How would the new digital cable plug into my tv? How long does it take to have this setup, say if i wanted to upgrade today?
As for as dvd playing, I plan on using my up converter dvd player with a hdmi cable for now until bluray drops eventually.
Suggestions? Advice?
