What are you watching Super Bowl XLII on? (multiple choice!)

[burky79]

So, new TV... out at a bar... HD, regular, etc...

Inquiring minds wanna know... well at least I do.

:)

[BCH]

First HD Super Bowl at my own house. W00t!

[Zona992006]

lcd with high def cable. Football is amazing that way.

[burky79]

Yup, I am at home watching on a Vizio 32" LCD with HD broadcast.

I can't believe how nice the HD broadcast looks.

I used to have the HD service through Wide Open West... but canceled that about a year ago.

This broadcast is amazing, for what I thought it would be.

I just bought the Terk Amplified HDTV Indoor Antenna at Best buy this morning... love it!

[Death Metal Moe]

I won't watch a second of that stupid game.

[Philly loser]

HD LCD... First HD Supe at my house too.

[O&APartyRock24]

First HD superbowl! w00t

[mikepop]

50 inch HD on my Sony
Svideo on my computer's 22 inch widescreen.:icon_lol:

[Fustercluck]

42 phillips lcd with ambient lighting

[Fr. Dougal]

56" Samsung DLP HD... with digital HD cable.

Home alone, though... since I couldn't get tonight off from work. If I had the night off, I'd be drunk already from my pre-game party. But had to tell everyone no go this year, unfortunately.

[burky79]

I am not the only working slob here...

I can't believe no one is watching it on a Plasma... that LCD rush must have cleared house in the last couple of years.

[Smokezilla]

Watching on my 10-12 year old run-of-the-mill, mom-and-pop 34" TV. . . Fuck you fancy assholes and your HD. . . I like my sports all grainy and shit.:p

i think HD is worth it. i just have an antenna now, although i used to pay extree for it. i'm happy with what i get on broadcast.

but its time to get an LCD tv... they are cheap enough everywhere and the quality is that much better. not just for fancy men ;)

The only problem with Vizio is (and I almost got the one you have) they dont come in 1080i.

[Flea_Man]

You're playing in it though.

[Sinn Fein]

I'm in my bedroom watching on beautiful Verizon FIOS HDTV on my Philips 30" widescreen CRT. I felt like chillin' at home and just watching quietly.

[N.Y. Johnny]

I dont know what you gentlemen are all up in arms about. The super bowl? Hah...i bought my tv specifically for the Pro Bowl. :icon_mrgr

[Glenn Dandy]

stupid bar paying 3 bucks a beer and 15 dollars for a hot wing hoagie buffet... only to get home and realize my LCD TV is way better... WHAT WAS I THINKING.

[poppAwoody]

? I'm pretty sure it does...

I may be wrong, or maybe you are thinking of another Vizio... I bought mine over a year ago.

Below is a link to the spec sheet in PDF format, from their site.

Let me know after you look at it... because, when I watch certain HD broadcasts... it specifically says 1080i in the TV's info section of what it's receiving.

The one I looked at last week didnt come in 1080 only 720 so good for you..It may be because it was a year ago? I donno..

[boardsofcanada]

yup looked great, and the game was only broadcast in 720 too.
I see a major difference between 720 and 1080.

[GLENN_THE_TOOL]

i watched the game on the many big screen TVs at ESPN Zone in Times Square. don't know what service they have though...

[Stalker2]

At home on a Mitsubishi 720p HD DLP projector on a 96" screen.
I DVRed it so with leftover beer and food will prolly watch again tonight.

Sports is better in 720p than 1080i. Reason being, for fast motion the progressive image gives you 720 lines of picture resolution for any given moment in time. 1080i records twice as many pictures, but of 540 lines each, so you're getting only 540 lines of resolution for any given moment in time. 720p will have no jagged stair-stepping on fast motion. Hence why 720p was chosen for sports over 1080i.

[Stalker2]

Got to agree with you there Razor.But I`ll eventually be stepping up to a 1080p,my first was an InFocus 4805 DLP EDTV projector.

Never thought of it like that. Makes perfect sense, technically. Thx!

[WOWmagnet]

You forgot Satellite, which is better than cable.

yeah, i did forget to list sat.

but for all intents and purposes... it can fall under digital.
