   I was just wondering in the shower, that when I bought my new T.V last week, I don't remember seeing the HD label on it, and when playing GT5, I have this feeling that the graphic's not as good as it can be. Fair enough I bought it in a rush, as I was really excited about getting it on the same day as my PS3. But when I came out of the shower, towel still around me, I confirmed my worst nightmare. Nowhere on the box or the instruction manual mentioned anything about HD!
Now the question is, though it's already very awesome playing GT5 on it, and some of my friends were amazed by how good the graphics are, can it be significantly improved if it was HD? I have bought this T.V solely for PS3-ing, it's good, but I don't feel it shining.
Somebody please enlighten me on how much difference a HD vs non-HD T.V would make when it comes to PS3.

I have until Thursday to exchange it. I'd have to make a decision in these couple of days.

Get online and look up the model number at the Samsung web page for details on your tv.
 
If it ain't at least 720p then it ain't HD.

It should be HD if the page is true.

With limitations, but you are still good to go with HD babyblue.
