Okay, so it's just a 7" portable one I bought on a recent trip, but DAGG! I just watched Iron Man on it- the picture is absolutely stunning! I can see dents & seams on the suit I NEVER saw on my 27" TV!!!
I may have to get a bigger one (y'know, after this depression lifts, that is).

Anyone wanna coment on their excellent viewing equipment?

When the riots come this summer grab one out of the store. Might have to get a cohort to help you carry the 48" into the van. Wear wigs. Iron Man was made for LCD. How about Transformers. Yeh that't the ticket.

I'm not greedy, a 25" will do me fine.

And while you're at it, switch to HD also. It's like being in the theater.

I've seen both Iron Man and The Dark Night on Blu-Ray on an HDTV. Awesome!

I prefer to go on about how HD really isn't ALL THAT until such time as I can afford it.

Okay, now I watched parts of Serenity on my teenie-tiny LCD, and I have to say, the picture was a little short of what I saw of it on Blu Ray, but just a little. I noticed junk like the flashing of light on the back wall of the cockpit during the burn through- really, it was amazing. Funny, in a darkened room, after a few minutes, I'm not even aware how small the screen is.

Two or three weekends ago I finally got a bluray copy of Serenity, could not find one less than $29, Wallyworld did not have it. Then got a copy of bluray Firefly (every store said it was not available, until my fave music store said yep, here it is). Then I got a bluray player to play them on. I figured the 10inch screen I've been using wouldn't suffice, so I then got a little LCD screen (32inch).
Already had an upcoverter DVD player, hooked both up via HDMI. Upconverter is better on some DVDs, but bluray's HD is awesome on Serenity BDM, and possibly better than plain DVD on Serenity Pilot - the difference I saw might just be the bigger screen.
Lost a week or 2 checking out some faves on my new toys - some Serenity, Firefly, Gladiator, Transformers, Dances with Wolves, T2, etc.
Now I see Serenity bluray is at walmart for under $20, along with Road Warrior around $15, other interesting titles to investigate with bluray.

I'm thinking Saving Private Ryan would be good on bluraqy, will have to look for it.

I've been viewing everything on a 50" Sony Wega for the past few years. At the time a 1080p was costing a little more than I would have liked to spend but 720p/1080i is good enough for me. Only have a few Bluray movies but they all look stunning. Speed Racer and Dark City are my personal favorites for pure visual stunnery.
