HD TVs
I have one here which is a 22" widescreen HD. I can easily see it's not 1080 lines, and not even 720 is very sharp. A slightly smaller computer monitor (19") has 1200 lines and it needs them. Less than that is awful.
And the wall mount is indeed a piece of ****. Mind you, I'm using it vertically rather than horizontally, so it needs to take the weight of the TV on the joints, so it keeps drooping.

On the other hand some of the compression used looks awful I am told and on the other hand some of the clever up scaling of sd can look very good. With regard to DIY, why is it that the devices sold to mount them on a wall seem to me at least to be rather flimsy? Brian |

Lonely Auto-contradicting Psychotic Senile Ozzie Troll Alert! LOL

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: FLUSH the two subnormal sociopathic cretins' endless blather -- Typical retarded "conversation" between the Scottish ****** and the senile Ozzietard: Birdbrain: "Horse **** doesn't stink." Senile Rodent: "It does if you roll in it." Birdbrain: "I've never worked out why, I assumed it was maybe meateaters that made stinky ****, but then why does vegetarian human **** stink? Is it just the fact that we're capable of digesting meat?" Senile Rodent: "Nope, some cow **** stinks too." Message-ID: |

A slightly smaller computer monitor (19") has 1200 lines and it needs them. Less than that is awful. Because its conversion from what it gets lines wise and what it has lines wise is very poor. Why would it need to convert? Because there is no simple integer conversion between the lines it has and what its given. If say its given 600 lines in your example, it just puts each line its given on two of the lines on the screen. If its given 720 or 1080 lines it cant do that. I've fed it both 1080 lines and 720 lines from the PC and both are out of focus. See above. So clearly the actual panel is neither of those numbers. Correct.

And it would be cheaper to use a decent LCD panel than put a CPU that powerful in. Its not possible to have the lcd panel that can do it all, particularly show both 4:3 and 16:9 so you don't get silly skinny people or very fat ones. The best TVs do that by having the middle of the screen showing the people properly and the left and right sides as different aspect ratio. You cant do that with the lcd screen physical structure. And the wall mount is indeed a piece of ****. You were the one actually stupid enough to buy or use it. It was free. That's why I said use it, stupid. What's stupid about using a free TV?

But my point is it should never have been made, It does make sense for a cheap one. and they shouldn't be allowed to sell anything saying "HD" if it isn't. They didn't say it was HD.
