TV looks nice. I bought a 20" Advent awhile back and the glare from light coming through the window is almost non-existant. I payed $172 (after tax) but it wasnt HD-ready. If I had the extra 30 I coulda got the 27".

Sweet sounds good. The thing I really like is the 3 S-video inputs and the progressive-scan conversion and the fact its HDTV for its cheap price. I guess ill buy it.

Looks nice. We used to ahve a pair of advent speakers and they were NICE. great sound but a friend was over one day and picked one of them and the woofer broke. I was pissed but got over it and threw them out. ;)
coulda fixed them, actually i should have, but it wasn't really worth all the trouble.

Minimum specs requirements for 720
Windows XP
Windows Media Player 9 Series
2.4 GHz processor or equivalent
384 MB of RAM
64 MB video card
1024 x 768 screen resolution
16-bit sound card
Speakers
For 1080
Windows XP
Windows Media Player 9 Series
DirectX 9.0
3.0 GHz processor or equivalent
512 MB of RAM
128 MB video card
1920 x 1440 screen resolution
24-bit 96 kHz multichannel sound card

Im below min specs for cpu (2200+) but it runs fine except for a little lag every 10-15 sec. Im about to try a 1080. I had tried the robotics one and it didnt go so smoothly but you still tell the graphics were awesome.
