Overclocking Core 2 Duo: Power Versus Performance

Intel's fastest Core 2 Duo, the E8600, runs at 3.33 GHz. But if you're a performance-hungry power user, we found that you can actually increase the chip's efficiency by overclocking it, thanks to 45 nm manufacturing and plenty of built-in headroom. Read more

I'm thinking about getting the Samsung TX-R3080WH over the Sony
Widescreen FD Trinitron® WEGA® HDTVKD-30XS955 - both
flatscreen/widescreen CRT's with HD and comparable features. I think
the Sony's picture is slightly better than the Samsung, but the depth
of the cabinet (or less depth) of the Samsung has me sold.

My concern is that the Samsung does not process 720p as part of its HD
capability. It does process 1080i and 480i and 480p.

Does this mean that if the broadcast is in 720 I have no HD capability?
Is the contest settled between the two formats in the industry? Will
there be a 1080p eventually, making a set like this obsolete? Should I
insist on a set that has both 720 and 1080?

Thanks in advance,
LG

I owned the TX-R2678WH and have returned it to get the larger
TX-R3075WH HDTV Samsung set. I can tell you that it does all of thoses
aspects.
480i/480p most of the analog air channels and standard definition
digital channels are in this format, it also accepts Progressive scan
DVD playback.
720p most of the primetime FOX, UPN, and ABC shows that are in HD are
in 720p, and they look stunning.
1080i some of the primetime CBS, NBC shows are in this aspect they look
nice too but in a different way.

Since this set has a built in tuner the lack of 720P input capability
wouldn't be a problem.
Unfortunately there's no way to avoid a set going obsolete. There will
,however, never be a 1080P that is broadcast.

Uh, dj, you might want to do a little homework before making statements like
that one. It is entirely possible that we could see 1080p broadcast at 24
or 30 frames per second. Not likely that 1080p60 will ever be broadcast is
likely what you meant to say.
