I always get a kick out of saying the word Wii since it sounds like I'm talking about something else. Hey, I'll be there later. First I have to play with my Wii. Come on...it's kind of funny, right?
Anyway, my mom was trying to get me to upgrade my Sharp t.v. since it's one of those huge CRT's to a new LED or Plasma. Well, the t.v. I have is one of the last CRT big screens made so the quality on it is incredible. No, you can't get HD on it, nor can you play Blu-Ray movies because the resolution doesn't go that high, but the clarity on regular DVD's is astounding and since I don't have a box hooked up to this but rather just a standard Coaxial cable I get analog stations in MUCH more clearly than I would if I had a standard coaxial cable hooked into a digital television set. (Coax without going through a box is analog, and when you hooked an analog cable directly into a digital t.v. the clarity sucks)
Also, not many people are aware of this but the Wii, which I love to play, does not output in resolutions that are high enough to be the native resolution that most HDTV's are. What that means is that the t.v. itself has to do the signal processing to display it, which kind of makes a "delay", aka lag, that can be apparent during game play on HDTV's. (Old CRTs do NOT have this delay because they display images in lower resolutions that are more native to the Wii's output) There are some newer t.v's that have pretty much eliminated that, like the Sharp Aquos Quattron LED line which has this Vyper Drive game mode which helps eliminate that, as well as the Pioneer Viera 600HZ Plasma t.v.s which have virtually no lag time at all (Which most good, newer plasmas shouldn't anyway based on their design)...but those t.v's are freaking EXPENSIVE.
Okay, now that I've thoroughly confused the non-techies out there...sorry! LOL
