Funny story&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Well not so much funny as STUPID and FRUSTRATING....<br /><br />Here it is..........<br /><br />I went in to Sams Club (a local warehouse superstore) yesterday and came across this &quot;great&quot; deal on a cheap VIZIO 32&quot; that had been returned...<br />so..... stupid me thinks.... &quot;save some money&quot; it&#39;ll be just fine.  So I bring it home, hook it up and ....... blah&#33;   Not such a nice picture.  I figure maybe it&#39;s just the fact that I don&#39;t get HD through my cable so a DVD will look better..... right?  So I pop in a dvd and it looks really shotty.  Fuzy, not crisp picture a bit distorted.  So now I&#39;m a bit frustrated.  I start looking through the manual to my dvd player (because it is old ) to see if it is putting out 480i or 480p for dvd&#39;s and I can&#39;t find anything on what it is&#33;&#33;  It&#39;s about 5 years old so I figure it&#39;s probably not 480p (which is the highest resolution a non-upconverted dvd can display).  The problem is, I&#39;ve had that dvd player hooked up to a samsung 32&quot; before and it look great for dvd&#39;s.  So, I think it&#39;s the TV because with the other TV it looked great.  With this tv (vizio) all my channels look blah.  which brings me back to the beginning.......... it was returned to the store and I suspect it was returned for the same reasons that i&#39;m going to return it for.... poor image quality and poor dvd display.<br /><br />So, I immediately went on the web this morning and purchased the samsung model&#33;&#33; to end my frustrations...... I hope.  I bought the exact same tv that I had this dvd player hooked up to before that look very good..... samsung LNT3242H.  It is the next model down from the Samsung LNT3253H that I posted in the pole.... the only difference is an extra HDMI input and and extra 1000:1 contrast ratio, which is completely unnoticable.  Thats all.    So here I am after all the riga marol ending up with the Samsung in the first place.<br /><br />Less learned............ go with your first thought on which to buy not the bargain model to save a couple bucks.<br /><br />If anyone has any ideas on the whole dvd, 480i quality issue, please let me know......................<br /><br />OTHERWISE in answer to your question COMMANDO.....................<br /><br />THE SAMSUNG WINS OUT&#33;&#33;
