Is this a good one or a bad one?
What are the differences between BDX, BD, BX and B?

obviously, ignorance isn' t bliss, I could really use a little help

if you really want help, post the specs and some real questions.

nobody' s going to follow that link.

hell, you didn' t even bother to tell us what the product was...do you know?

if you' re trying to advertise, you' re very bad at it.

I think I' d try to SELL something if I were advertising, nay?
I just want an opinion from someone objective, not from a sniveller

I guess I would probably get something with an ASTC Tuner so you can actually get HDTV with it.

ASTC Tuner


What the heck is a ASTC Tuner?


I have allways been wary of buying hdtv' s of the net, as You really need to see in person what the tv picture is like.

Well instead of a regular NTSC TV tuner which will get you regular TV channels in north america, or a PAL TV tuner which gets you european an ASTC will get you digital channels which includes high definition. A lot of HDTVs don' t have these in them, so the only way you can get HDTV is from something hooked up through the component, VGA, DVI or HDMI inputs. So pretty much just HD-DVD players, Blue Ray players and game consoles will get you high definition with them. You can' t say, hook up an antenna and pick up HDTV over the airwaves, or plug your cable in and get those high definition channels.
You would need some sort of reciever that would get them through the coaxial and connect to your HDTV with component or HDMI.

Heck I wouldn' t even try to get a Hdtv Signal from a antenna. These Sky Hd boxes will do the Job whenever we get a Hdtv, Anyway, most tv isn' t even Hd yet. Not here, only one or two channels.

In the US, the vast majority of over the air channels also broadcast digital signals.

A REAL answer to your question l!nk. It displays in 720, has HDMI, and the viewing angle is pretty good. For the price you can find better.
