I'm thinking of getting an LCD television in the sales. I just have a
couple of questions for those more in the know than me.

Full 1080 HD Televisions is there a certain size of screen that you
have to get or above for full HD, or can you get full HD in most
screen sizes? I didn't want to get something too big, maybe only a 26
or 32" screen size.

If I was to get a full HD screen, would I still be able to watch or
change the screen format to 720? Its just I watch a lot of sports and
I've heard that 720 HD is better for sports than full HD? I also watch
quite a lot of wildlife programs as well though were full HD would be
better for picture quality instead of motion.

Another question I have is regarding the connectors for TVs. What's
the difference between HDMI and DVI?

Do any televisions accept DV in from a miniDV camcorder? Or do you
have to connect via analogue audio/video inputs the yellow, red and
white cables?

Can most modern televisions work with NTSC input as well? E.g. NTSC
games console or NTSC camcorder?

For Brightness and Contrast values am I generally looking for higher
values as being better? So Contrast 3500:1 and Brightness 500 cd/m2
would be pretty good? Better than 1500:1 and 250 cd/m2?

When I am out looking at televisions, are there any types of labels so
you know whether it is full hd or 720 hd or not? And the television
that just say HD ready, what is this supposed to mean? That its a hd
tv or just that its a standard tv that can accept hd signals?!#

What television makes do you consider to be pretty good at the moment
for picture quality that don't cost too much? I don't think I could
afford a Loewe or a Sony as much as I would like one of them ;)
Anything else worth considering or looking at?

Cheers and thanks for your advice

John
