| Should I get an HDTV?  | | | | I'm looking into getting an HDTV to replace my old TV.But I'm not sure if I'm better off with an HDTV. I use basic standard def cable and am hesitant to get the digital HD package because I use a Home Theatre PC to watch cable.. I use BeyondTV, and have a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500 (dual tuner card), and a PNY VCG62128APB GeForce 6200 video card which has a DVI output.So I would have standard def going through the computer and have it come out the DVI to the HDTV.I use the computer for watching TV, videos, and DVDs so if the card would up convert and look good on a HDTV I would be all set,but if the DVI output won't give a great picture then there's no real reason to get a HDTV. I live in Lincoln, NE and there are some HD channels over the air so I would get an over the air tuner so I could watch those in HD. I did some googling on the video card and didn't see much talk about how the card outputs to a HDTV. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | HDTV usually are digital Tv. To fully use a digital tv, the transmitter and the cameras used must be digital too. If not, you will only get the same feature as that od the non-digital tv. | | | | | | | | | | Sony PMW-320K $14900 Big Valentine Sale!-Ends 14th Mdnt Call 877-644-7593 http://www.rythercamera.com | add comment | | | |

| | As far as I know about HDTV, you will need an HDMI cable to get full enjoyment of HD signals. Perhaps upgrading your graphics card to give you HDMI output would be better. Just remember the more connection you make between the computer and TV the signal will get weaker, each time you convert the signal it will looses it quality. So my suggestion is get the best video card HD capable and take the out directly to TV HDMI input. Regards Ashutosh | | | | | | | | | | HD Televisions for Less Sony, Sharp, Samsung and More.
