that's not what you said originally. you said that optical and coax cannot support surround. what you're saying here is that if your receiver doesn't support it, then you won't get surround.Originally Posted by osubass1

optical cannot support the HD sound formats.
Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS Master Audio cannot be transmitted through optical audio. you must use HDMI 1.3.
The streams sent over an optical or coaxial audio cable are encoded to either Dolby digital or DTS to get true surround. BUT, you'll need a decoder to be able to decode these streams into their respective channels. If your receiver doesn't have dd or dts decoders then you'll only get 2.1 channel audio. Left, right, and sub.

Don't get Vizio...Originally Posted by Mr Fongstarr
So I am in the market to get a HDTV. I haven't look at this whole thread (I am work right now) but want to ask a question.
I am in the market to get a small HDTV (32 inch) and was wondering if it was worth it to get a good brand. I want a Sony with 1080p but I know (at least I think) that the clarity of the HD can only get so good on a small screen. Should I invest in getting a good brand or is getting a Vizio a better bargain? Thanks!
Contrast ratios are moot. I'd go 720p for reasons as MexicanSoul posted too. No need to pay more for something you won't actually notice.I switched from a 40" 1080p LCD to a 42" 720p Plasma. Can't tell a difference besides the fact that the colors pop more and motion is better. Butthat's just because of the tech used in the set.Originally Posted by Mr Fongstarr
^^^Thanks. But what about the 1080p thing? Is it true you can't get a true 1080p resolution on a 32"? Or is the contrast ratio more important. I noticed that the link you gave me with the VIERA has a 10,000:1 native contrast.
yeah it worked with the DTV converterOriginally Posted by RKO2004
Did you get it working?Originally Posted by ServeChilled81
Question: I have an LCD monitor from my computer that I don't use anymore, I want to put it in my kitchen. It just a display, no tuner and I don't want to buy another cable box for it. Do you think I could use a splitter on the cable coax from the wall and connect it to one of those DTV converters or some other kind of converter and use that. I can run the audio through some small speaker I have. Would that work?
And can someone give me a backlight link? Like for the lamp, clamp and bulb?

Now of course the same scene was on every tv,this is why it caught my eye. It was a Vizo 55 inch 120 hz. Compared to the rest of the tv's the 120 hz looked like live tv blew my mind. School a brother.
