  • Answer:

    1366 x 768 Resolution (16:9 Aspect Ratio) means that it can not display 1080i as 1080i. It can only down convert it and display it as 720p. The manufacturers statement of - Standard definition TV, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i is deceptive, as it means it can handle these input signals, but with convert them to the native resolution. Nice how they left that detail out, huh? Consumers need to understand that a HDTV has to be able to display all the HD signals accurately. If a TV has a native resolution of XXXX by 768, that means it CAN NOT display the BEST Resolution of HD out there, 1080. For that, you need a Native Resolution of 1920 x 1080. It's just like the Stereo systems out there now for $149 that claim to be 1000 watts. It's a manipulation of the facts. I.E. a lie.

The # 1 answer is right on the money!!!! It sounds to me like this TV is not a HDTV model, and after 15+ yrs in electronics I have never heard of that brand name!!!! Stick with reputable brand names or play russian roullette with your cash. As for the contrast ratio, the number means nothing. Every manufacturer has a different way of measuring it and most sets would not get to half the rating. Contrast ratio and stereo wattage, two numbers that mean absolutely squat!!!!! Good luck on your purchase

Yeah.....sounds sweet.....then when you need to get it fixed...you can't find anyone nearby to repair it.... Stick with brand names....then stick with brand names that have an Authorized Service Center in your town, or nearby town.... You don't know how many people have been screwed by UNKNOWN brands.....

If you buy it you wont be able to watch it after 2009 without a converter box. Get one with ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuners so it will work without converter boxes after 2009.
