Should look pretty much like a regular TV . . .

Just make sure your HD TV if you get it, has a built in HD tuner, or you'll have to buy THAT too!
Just went through that mess!

Bought a sony, but I've heard good things about the aquos! Look it up on-line might help make up your mind!

i am confused about the features, and the tuner thing. the same model has vastly different prices.
i saw an aquos the other day, lined along side with other brands such as sony, phillips, and samsung, the picture quality was unmatched. if i buy an hdtv, it'll be an aquos.

The Aquos is a Sharp manufacturer, who knows who makes what they are all made in CHINA! lol

Also as for the HD vs. ED I shopped for many months compairing different models. I ended up getting an ED because with the HD and ED sets next to eachother I could barely tell a difference. So I would rather save some $ and go ED since we only get 10 channels of HD anyway!

DLP is alittle big for my bedroom, thats why i wanted to get the LCD and mount it on the wall, i dont have the money right now to buy a new dish and a new HD converter from DIRECTV so thats why im asking if the normal braodcast will look bad or ok
i might switch over to DISH NETWORK to get all the HD equipment free and just pay installation which on the internet was 67 bucks

I am dropping Dish tomorrow because their HD equipment sux. I have had 2 boxes and both have had problems. The interactive feature has never worked without having to reset the box when you want to watch a channel again. The box will go into menu mode on it's own at times. Another favorite is being locked out of the program guide. They don't seem to be too interested in correcting the situation so Direct TV gets a new customer.

looks like we all managed not to answer your question. Will standard broadcast tv look good on your LCD tv... No. All HDTVs are great at reproducing HDTV signal and progressive scan from dvds however they pretty much all suck when it comes to tv. You have one benefit of being a satellite customer because all of your channels are already digital. so they will be clearer then anything you can get from your local cable provider. Even with a digital box from the cable company all channels below 100 are non-digital. Working for a fable company myself I have seen first hand many different brands of HDTVs from dlp, plasma, lcd, and tube and I can say that none will display analog cable worth a crap. And digital cable is only marginaly better. Did that stop me from getting one? NOPE!

It will make a difference in gaming if your looking at the 360. also depending on how nice your dvd player is it will make a difference for that as well. LCD is good for gaming however have you considered a DLP? much nicer pic! As far as TV for the money goes Samsung makes some great LCD's.
