Hi!

I need to fill up time between Rev3 shows.
Also I'm looking into buying a Full HD LCD tv.

What video podcasts do you recommend on this subject?
It doesn't have to be pure tv stuff, but i'm looking for a show that handles the subject frequently with reviews, news and such...

Any suggestions?


On a side note: which brands are the ones to aim for and which should i avoid?
LG seems sharply priced when it comes to full HD, but I don't know anything on their quality, and I haven't seen one in a store around my area to compare...


Thanks!

I'm sure after the next round of funding and when his contract with Ziff Davis is up Robert Herron will have an HDTV show here. :)

There are some great prices on HD LCD TVs out there at the moment.

Things to consider -

720 vs 1080 (i or p ... makes little difference for this argument). Smaller screens are generally 720p. Might not seem like much EXCEPT if you also hook up a PC to the thing - then you are only going to get a resolution that is 720 high.
HD Ready vs HD Tuner - HD Ready means that there is no tuner built in, so you need to hook up to a video source (DVD, PC, Console, Cable box, etc) to view on it. HD Tuner means that you can plug in a cable and be ready to go (or an aerial and get the free to air programming).
HDMI connectors.
DVI connectors.
Contrast.
Direct VGA connection.
Front panel inputs (video camera)
Mounting plates options (for wall mounting).

Keep your eyes open, I suspect that LCDs will be a huge seller this holiday season. I am thinking of getting on myself for my office.
