Speaking as a NON-Expert but at least educated, wouldn't the benefits achieved from 120hz and 1080p be somewhat lost with a screen size that small?

 

[hdtvtechno]

i dont think so..

I tend to agree with yourbeliefs. 1080p is barely detectable at that size, and 120 Hz will be undetectable.

However, the following set does meet these specs.

LG 37LG60 Amazon.com: LG 37LG60 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Gloss Piano Black with Scarlet Red: Electronics

There are a much larger number of 120Hz sets in 40" if you can go that large. 40" seems to be the standard cutoff size.

how about those new 240hz TV's ?

One more to add to your list:

Hitachi - Director's Series 37" 1080p 120Hz LCD HD Monitor - UT37X902

At 37" that's my vote. I have the 47X902. Absolutely stupendous set. be forewarned there is only 1 HDMI and RGB input on this set. No component. The audio/video center (ATSC/NTSC/QAM Tuning is optional. The ultrathin is sleek. Reel 120 film dejudder is the best out there.

Would be easier to get a new entrainment center so he can get a bigger tv??

A Samsung 40650 may fit.

Aint that the truth; screw the ent center; it has so little to nothing to do with a quality H/T experience.

Agreed there. If money's no option on the TV, upgrade the EC, too (unless it's one of those built in like so many houses have). When we built my house I made sure there were no recesses so I could do what I pleased.

lol. Get it right, I said entrainment. Whatever the hell that is.

I think I meant entertainment.

 

[charper1]

Hmmm are you saying his buddy likes taint?


LOL

I think for the money getting rid of the entertainment center and going with a bigger TV would be a much more appreciated option.

Correct, if you are more than six feet away from the TV...
