What TV are using with AppleTV?

in iPod + iTunes + AppleTV edited January 2014
I am thinking about upgrading to HDTV and getting an AppleTV and I would like to know what combination everybody is using. The Apple Store here has a Sony TV on display and the picture looks pretty good.

    I've got a 42" Panasonic Plasma. I've been ripping DVD and eyeTV recordings using VisualHub, and they look great!

    I'm running mine on a 32" Westinghouse LCD. I'm very happy with it.



    I'm not an expert on the latest generation of HDTVs, but you'll find threads complaining about the picture quality on the Sony Bravias they use in Apple stores. From what I've seen, the picture on those is much poorer than on my TV - it looks like they upscale the image very oddly.

    It has nothing to do with the file itself - many people have complained about the Bravias' upscaling algorithm. Look at the same upscaled video on a Bravia and another TV side by side. I'm not saying they're bad TVs, but if we're picking an AppleTV set, I'd caution against them.

    i agree what you said,no relationship with the file or the file ripping tool,such as the squall mentioned"mp4converter".
