Hi. I am in the market for a new TV and have been looking into these new 720p and 1080p LCD's. What I have been reading is basically not to waste my time on a 1080p LCD because tv broadcasts are only 1080i, so I have oped to go with a 720p display. My question is however, what will this 720p LCD TV look like with a standard digital or analog TV signal?


I have Dish Network with just the basic package, no HD package. All though the signal is Digital, will the non-HD signal look worse on my new 720p LCD (artifacting and such) verses my standard CRT TV?


And what about the signal coming out of a TiVo Series 2 which will be analog?


I dont watch TV much, and the push to get a new one is for my Wife and her XBox360, which I know will look great, but for the TV I do watch, I watch it from my TiVo. Will this picture look terrible?


Thanks.

well i know this, everythings going 1080p and im sure broadcast tv will go 1080p in the future,but noting wrong with 720p in fact i cant tell the diffence between 1080iand 720p as far as broadcast tv goes,maybe other here can,good luck with your new hdtv
