Ps3 on a hd tv?

Hi


I was thinking about buying a ps3 now that they have dropped in price, but i dont own a hd tv.


my tv is just a normal tv, not flat screen plasma or hd.


is it better to buy a small hd tv (probably around 15 inches) or play it on my 34 inch widescreen normal tv? or not buy one.





thanks

Ps3 on a hd tv?
Well graphics wise,





If you hook up a PS3 to an SDTV (standard) it wont look as good, but a little better than a PS2. So it will look not just a little, but to me ALOT worse.





If you hook it up to an HDTV, you can see stuff in 720p - 1080p. That's a big difference. You can see everything, from a grain of sand to a person sweating.





So you can tell alot if it's connected to an SD vs an HDTV.





Oh and for HD, you will need a component cable or an HDMI...and an HDTV





However, playing it on SD isnt that bad. So i guess just play on your 34"
Reply:15 inches is way too small (plus those small, square-shaped lcds dont display HDTV) , you need to get at least a 26 inch widescreen lcd. You can find some 26"" lcd hdtvs for around 400 dollars, you should save an extra $100 or $150 and get the 26" or 32". Make sure to buy the ps3 HDMI cable to get HD from your ps3.
Reply:if you buy the hdmi cable it will make your t.v look even better even thought it is not hdtv
Reply:I think you should buy a PS3. I had a widescreen television and it wasn't HD and it still looked great when I bought the high definition cable for the PS3 at best buy. Thats what I would do. Buy a PS3 and buy the HD cables with it.
Reply:I would stick with the 34 inch SDTV and save until you can purchase a larger screen. Good call on getting the PS3. You will also likely end up taking advantage of blu-ray and let's fact it, watching a movie on a 15" screen doesn't cut it.
