This past month I have been experiencing an increasing desire to get an HDTV. A ton of games I am interested in come out in March and I can’t stand to play them in an interlaced format. Saturday I finally cracked and bought one.
I got a nice deal at Circuit City on a Mitsubishi LT-46131. It’s a 46 inch 1080p LCD panel. The image is, unsurprisingly, incredible. The savings in space compared to my monolithic 32″ CRT television is also amazing. It’s got some cool features like split screen between any two inputs, so you can watch TV and play a game simultaneously on one screen.
Tony bought a few Blue-Ray movies for his PS3, and the native 1080p resolution truely is a sight to behold. We spent the night plugging in all our consoles and looking at things in HD. Broadcast HD channels even look great, though broadcast TV, in general, infuriates me for other reasons.
I’m hoping to play the final build of The Butterfly Effect multiplayer on 46″ of HD goodness with wireless XBox360 controllers courtesy of the Wireless Gaming Receiver I bought last month.
