What resolution for LCD TV?

[Ex-RoNiN]

Hey,

looking to buy an LCD TV, but am worried about picture quality. At what resolution does the quality become better than CRT? I was looking at a Phillips, 23", with 1366x768 resolution, which sounds about right. Is there a table that lists the optimal size and resolution correlation for good quality picture?

Apart from resolution, what else do I need to look at for good picture quality?

Many thanks in advance

Depends what your using it for.

If we're talking HDTV, 720p up to 32", over 32" 1080p. imo ofcourse.

TV Don't like this....normally the higher the res the more detail a tv can give you.(as long as the signal feed can match the TV res)....

How many Pixels a tv has means very little to picture quality...You normally find the higher the pixel count gets the more bad the SD picture quality gets..


Plus..All LCD's TV's with SD are a long way off the PQ of a CRT tv..

quoted for truth

the TV's resolution doesnt make a big difference in the grand scheme of things.

1366 x 768 is the industry standard for LCD TVs of about 40" or under. Some 40" and above are "Full HD" 1920 x 1080 but you pay extra as these sets can display 1080P HD footage. But its only DVDs that will be available at this resolution. Broadcast stuff will all be 1080i or 720P. Both of which a 1366 x 768 set will do fine.

Its of course worth mentionning that DVDs will also come in 720P and 1080i, but will have the option of 1080P for those with 1080P sets

I have no idea what that's based on but it's crazy talk.

32" is arguably not enough to really appreciate 720p
