Re: HDTV - Is this any good?

The resolution seems way too low.

You'll only get High-Def images in 720p format.

1366 x 768p - uh-uh, lowestonweb.com have some great deals all the time.
Thats pretty average unless you are willing to spend thousands for the few and far between actual 1080i displays.

time to save the money for a new tele methinks!!!

Computers are more than capable of displaying high def video. For a start actual monitors are better displays with the resolutions / refresh rates they support.
