In light of my recent purchase (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=911088) we've got 1 too many TV's and DVD player's here.

TV:
Samsung TXM2796 27" HDTV Flat Screen
Missing the remote, though I found 1 that will work on ebay in Addison for $5 right now here (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5848994224&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BID_IT) I will include an older Samsung VCR/ATV remote that will turn it on and off, but won't input the components.
It was a Best Buy open box buy back in 03 when we bought it, comes with the remainder of the 4 year warantee, expires in Jan 2007.

Came with minor scratches at the bottom of the base.

$250

Pics - don't mind the distortion in the lower left corner, it's from the camera, not the TV screen. Both pics were of a HD channel paused for the pic.

I can deliver the TV or the DVD player, not the entertainment center.

We live in Arlington Heights on a 1st floor apartment, so if you bring a truck, it's easy to get onto the bed.

Thanks!

What is the resolution like on the TV? I don't know much about HD, but isn't it measured in like i's or something, like 1080i?

480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i are the settings. This TV with this HD tuner only goes as high as 720p.

I'm pretty much just looking for something to play xbox360 on in hd. From what I have read the 720p and 1080i don't have a noticable difference. I'm sure they do but at 27" I probably couldn't tell. Well anyway I'm definatly game for it so let me know how the sale goes.

this tv is actually 1080i and cannot do true 720p(which is kinda higher resolution then 1080i at least for fast moving scenes), some of the newer tvs can do true 1080p(1920x1080) and thats the highest res out there(for now).
Sonys new SXRD chip is capable of delivering 4096x2048, but there really is nothing out there that could use it yet....

The broadcast industry is struggling toward conversion of our system to High Definition Television (HDTV), a conversion which presumably will be complete in another five years. HDTV does two things. First, it increases the number of scan lines on the screen. Second, it widens the aspect ratio of the screen from the standard 4:3 which is what most televisions are today, to 16:9. The wider screen format has a more theatrical look.

The most popular HDTV format is 1080i, or 1080 lines interlaced. As with 525i, the system paints the odd lines first, then the even lines in a second pass. But since there are so many more scan lines, both the lines themselves and the motion jaggies are much less visible.

Nevertheless, the world of videophiles who seek video perfection are looking forward to the day when even this 1080i signal will be presented progressively—1080p. Faroudja is marketing a video processor that will convert 1080i to 1080p, and there are a few very expensive projectors that will handle the scan rates required for this signal. But for those who don't want to spend $30,000 on a big-screen TV just yet, 1080i is the most prevalent format today.

An alternative HDTV format is 720-lines progressive scan, or 720p. Though it has fewer lines, the native progressive scan format eliminates motion artifacts that originate in interlacing, and are still visible in large screen 1080i. So for subject matter that contains a lot of rapid motion--Monday Night Football for example--you can get a clearer, more stable picture from 720p than you can from 1080i. Alternatively, for subject matter that has very little motion, 1080i is capable of rendering more picture detail. Notice that most of the HDTV demo clips being broadcast on HDNet are very slow pans of detailed scenes. They are beautiful images, but those slow pans are intended to disguise the deinterlacing flaws inherent in the 1080i format.

The bottom line is that 1080i and 720p are both very good HDTV formats. One is not better than the other; they are just each better with particular types of subject matter. When done right, both are clearly superior to the NTSC 480-line format we have today.
