HDR-FX1 preferred TV? at DVinfo.net

Eirik Tyrihjel · March 5th, 2005, 07:19 PM

Is there a TV out there (PAL market) that does this great camera justice, which one should I go for, anyone?

eirik,

can you explain this more specifically?

if i understand - you are looking for TV set cappable to accept HDV signal? yes?

i tried with plenty of them- went to biggest media center in town with my camera - and asked the guys to test on their screens. that was some time ago, and since the camera itself was not in their interest (not in the shop)- after a few tries - almost every signle seller was around me. the picture on some sets was astonishing. unfortunatelly the best picture was on plazmas which are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive for this camera. but the picture was awesome.

my advice - go with your camera to biggest possible tv shop and test on all TVs with component input.

1080i is probably best displayed on a 1080i CRT.

How large of a TV do you want? If you want to stay under 34" then definitely look at the Sony 34" CRT 1080i HD sets. I had one iln 2003 and loved it. I've since upgraded to a 50" Grand Wega LCD rear projection but they are not native intelaced like HD tubes.

Oh, I'll bet it would look pretty good on this screen :-) http://www.lge.com/catalog/prodmodel...&model=NOTHING

For $50k it had better look good. That would make one very nice computer monitor.... hmmm.... j/k
