HDTV Question?
So we know in February of 2009 our regular TV's will no longer work. I have decided on buying LCD, in the 27 to 32 inch range for my living room and wall mounting it.
My question is with the HDTV Tuner, HDTV ready etc... which sort would you get for the least amount of hassle and why?
I'm also looking for suggestions on which brand/model to get.
Having had TiVo for 6 1/2 years and a cable HD DVR for the past year, I cannot imagine TV viewing without a DVR. Well, actually I can. Occasionally I go some place without a DVR and channel surfing is so annoying.
If you have cable, and don't care about cable boxes and DVRs, get an HDTV with a built-in CableCard and ATSC tuner, rather than an HDTV ready display.
If you think you think you have a Cable HD set-top box or HD DVR or if you think you want to go with the new TiVo Series 3 when it comes out, the built-in tuner becomes less of an issue and HD ready is sufficient. I never use the built-in tuner on my plasma TV.
If I had to say one thing, the most important consideration for a new HD TV may not be whether it has a built-in tuner but rather whether or not it has 2 or more HDMI interfaces. You'll need one HDMI interface for your HD tuner/DVR and one HDMI interface for your HD disc player (Blu-ray or HD-DVD). If you don't, you'll may end up needing a switching device.
