got a quick question; Which is better
I am lookig at getting a 40 in LCD tv...found 2 Vizios that I like..the only difference that I can see is 720p vs 1080i and the contrast ratio 300000 vs 5000:1. The 720 has the 300000:1 and the 1080 has 5000:1.
I was going to use it as a monitor(using the dvi to hdmi cable I have) also for a bit until all my moves are completed and I can get a real monitor.
there really isn't that much difference in price (less than $100). Consumer Reports had an article a few issues ago where they said that under 50 in, you really cant tell the difference between 720 and 1080.
I as thinking that contrast ratio was more important since this isn't our primary tv, only one in a bedroom (I doubt I will even have an hd sat box hooked up to it, but could eventually).
anyways, just looking for some opinions.
thanks
Jolly
