SD for me. I played the DVD on my PS3 on my Samsung 40" and it looked great. So, I'm sticking with that.
Awesome, glad to hear it. So why do you have an HDTV then?
VHS for me. It looks fantastic on my Panasonic 42". No need to spend the extra dough for the BD or DVD for that matter. I guess you could say I wasted my money on an HD set.
This website is called 'Engadget HD'.
@JimC Maybe he bought it so he could play his PS3 Games @ 1080p. Of course he'd have to sit no more than 5' from his set to get the full benefit of 1080p or no more than 7 1/2 feet for 720p.

"he'd have to sit no more than 5'", which again I ask, why HD? If you're not getting any benefit then whoever buys smaller 1080p sets are morons, either that or the benefit is subjective.
My point is that it seems rather pointless to spend a premium on HD sets only to watch SD content. Even if you play HD games, fine, so why come on here and brag about being incapable of distinguishing SD from HD content? Seems rather pointless to me.
Anyway, "HD" games on consoles aren't fully 1080p and imo look better on lower resolution sets. I say this because I have a ps3 connecting to my 1920x1200 monitor and it looks fuzzy stretched to that res. I usually use my monitor's feature to put it at the game's native res, which is usually about half the size of my monitor.
