question about hdtv

ra5a-libre · 28 Jun 2006 at 13:55

right im not sharp on this subject and i dont know much about the TV's but i just have a question about something that is bugging me.

my dad recently got a TOSHIBA 37WLT66 for our living room. But whilst my xbox360 looks sexy on it :cool:

when watching the TV it seems very badly pixelated on some channels, where as on a normal TV it looks fine :confused:

i just dont get why this is when a hdtv is meant to be the dogs *ahem* can anyone help me out and tell me why this is or is the new TV buggered or can it be fixed.

also would it be the same on the Samsung 26" LE26R74BDX which im looking at gettin for my new bedroom when its all done.

Thanks in advance

so normal tv channels will always looks bad on a HDTV. so then whats the point in gettin one, i understand the sky hd will look great etc, but even with that box with all the normal chans like bbc1 etc look good or still badly pixelated (sp)

no but im not on about a dvd player, im just on about watching normal tv, i know about the sky hd etc as we are planning on gettin one of them shortly but will normal TV ever become HD or will it always look crap on a HDTV

so can anyone justify a reason to get a HDTV then as the most watched channels in my house are BBC1 and ITV well thats what my mam & dad mostly watch.

hd sky,hd dvd,hd xbox 360 ,dont take this the wrong way but perhaps more research should have been done on what they/you watch the most before the purchase.

wasnt me who bought it though its my dad

i just wanted to ask these questions cos like i said to him i think its a daft purchase and now n then he moans about itv etc been a crap picture, this is why i came on here to ask about it. im gettin my tv because i will get a hd dvd player cos i dont really watch tv but it will be mainly for my xbox and to hook the pc upto

i knew that to get HD i would need a sky HD or HD dvd player, all i asked was why a supposed "better tv" doesnt give a better picture on normal tv ie bbc and itv, but now i have my answer
