Sorry if bad grammar. My take: Let's say you had a properly calibrated set of tvs of the same display tech , all which had good scalars. But the other displays can be VERY close. Plus, you are having increasingly denser dot pitch the higher your rez given the equivalent display size , so this can look better to your brain. Iiwy, I wouldn't let this deter you from running out and buying a new tv as soon as you can reasonably afford it.

What matters is how big the screen is relative to your viewing distance and the quality of the upscaler with the latter being of minimal difference with midrange and higher TVs. DVD quality video will look decent at 2x or more the diagonal measure of the TV. If you sit much closer the picture will be fuzzy and you'll start to notice artifacts.
And as noted before, how clean the p source is will make a difference. Professionally mastered DVDs will usually look very good.
Some old fuzzy Divx file with no detail and full of macroblock and DCT ringing artifacts will look terrible. I'm not disagreeing, but his answer addresses it differently. And the more extreme the scaling, the greater the potential for guessing error.
It is certainly an obvious axiom that an image that is the exact size of the display it is shown on and its reverse: a display that matches the intended frame resolution of its content will give the sharpest rendition for that resolution. The hardest case is downscaling no with downsizing or even with physical upsizing. And much depends on the scaling algorithm: scaling was tons worse when HDTV first came on the scene.
But it does need to anyway, because both SD and to a lesser extent HD have to have their material scaled all the time on those devices, and they are the vast majority of what will be seen on them for some time to come. What I said earlier tried to deal with differences with all else being equal. But as we all know, all those other things are almost never equal. Better, take your older TV in and do a side-by-side comparison. TVs have made a lot of advancements in recent years that don't all have to do with scaling, so moving to an HD or UHD tv has many other benefits.
Of course, for me one of those benefits had to do with improved 3d. Testing a TV for sale in the store should not be inconvenient as long as the TV is not physically out of reach and the salesperson is willing to allow it. I actually did take a thumb drive with me for testing when I bought a TV in I was able to test the TV and ended up buying it. Today, more TVs have a media player. Here is every p TV Costco still sells.
The rest of their inventory is now all 4k Agree with pretty much everything that has already been said here, so I'll just add; Inputs and outputs: Don't know what other equipment you intend to connect to your new TV but make sure that it has every connection that you currently need and provision for any future devices you might be adding in the not-too-distant future. Sound: Don't know if you'll be relying on the TV's speakers or if you already have some external sound system. If it's the TV's speakers then Definitely try before you buy!
Obviously ask the sales person before plugging in, but even the cheaper TVs are still expensive enough to warrant 'taking them for a spin around the block' before handing over the cash. Also, try and view the TVs in the store from roughly the same distance that you'll be viewing at home and same relative height if that's not going to be too embarrassing! Don't be afraid of trying the various preset Picture Modes in the TV's menu as some of the 'in store' modes are too bright and too saturated for normal viewing.
And finally I'd say if you can, stick to one of the better known makes e. Sony, Panasonic, Samsung as a significant part of the extra cost will be due to the quality of the picture processing that goes with up-scaling standard definition material to fill the screen.
Although you might also get away with a cheaper TV and rely on better up-scaling provided by a better Bluray player, media player, laptop or PC? Also I'd stick to Full HD x or better as the lower resolution TVs these days are likely to be ranging somewhere between 'older technology' and 'cheap doo-doo'. Good luck and let us know how you get on. Originally Posted by TimA-C. Last edited by theewizard; 14th Nov at Holy cow. All this helpful information just to help me buy a television set.

Of course, the size you get should be pretty much determined not by the price but how far away from the screen you sit. But somehow I just know it can't be that easy, can it? Last edited by jagabo; 14th Nov at There are lots of places where you can find the optimum distance to sit from a specific sized television.
It looks like you've done some research already and discovered, among other things, that they don't always agree with each other. But, thinking ahead, I'd go for a much larger one, and not the cheapest you can find. I like Samsungs, though, and if you're ready now, that 60 incher you mentioned is fine. The Vizio 'M' series is better than the 'E' series you quoted. You might look for reviews for some of the ones that interest you except Costco often gives them different model numbers than every place else.
As for zooming in when watching crap videos, I don't know how. Maybe it's possible to make the video half size but I've never investigated. Last edited by manono; 14th Nov at I was just on the phone with Costco I think you guys helped funnel me right into a TV that's going to work out great.
