Hard to explain.

oh i know apex sucks. i was just referring to the linked tv that was shown. about the only apex thing i would buy would be a cheap dvd player from wal mart. those damn things play just about any disc media you can put in them.

Word. I was just giving a word of warning to tragic, lest he though of buying an Apex TV.

For graduation my parents are getting me some new furnature for my room like a new TV stand and these sliding glass cases that hang on a wall to keep games and movies in.

I wish I had thought of that..

Get the 24-inch Sony Wega. My friend has it and the picture is beautiful through component. GameCube looks fantastic.

It has a component input, s-video input, and two composite inputs: one in the front and one in the back. Quality TV and a good size--the extra 4 inches over 20 will make a substantial difference.

And it's in your price range: $350 to $399.

Spend $50 or so on more RAM for that thing and you'll probably see a nice performance increase.

I like the Wegas also, as a matter of fact I have one, but I still think that the 24 inch Toshiba is a better deal at 30 bucks cheaper.

This isn't for Tragic as the second TV falls out of his price range, but rather for my own selfish quest for knowledge :).

Using http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...cat=24&scat=27 as the control group, how much better would something like http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...cat=24&scat=26 be? Specifically, what kind of difference does the 1080i/480p support make?
