Is there anyone out there who is watching PAL tv shows (SDTV) on 640x480 resolution LCD TVs? How does it look?
At amazon.de and in many local shops here there are several reduced priced LCD tvs, that have only a 640x480 resolution. I think this is OK for NTSC (using 480i), but is not ideal for PAL (using 576i), as the number of physical pixels on the LCD is smaller than that is broadcasted, therefore the picture has to be shrinked or "under-polated" to be displayed.
Like the Toshiba 20VL43 P 20-Zoll LCD-TV, would be ideal for me, except this resolution thing. Link: Toshiba 20VL43 P 20-Zoll LCD-TV
I would mainly use the LCD-TV for watching normal TV programmes (80% of the use), for Playstation 2 (10%), and for watching DivX movies from my laptop (10%).
I have the impression, that also for the Playstation 2, that in Europe uses PAL, the 640x480 resolution is not enough.
Any comments are welcomed.
