Hi all,

My nMP arrives on Tuesday (yay!), and I'm also buying a TV and trying to decide what is best. I haven't owned a TV in years, and I won't be getting cable. I just want to be able to stream stuff, and it would be great if I could play some of my games on it. I'm planning on hooking it up via HDMI, so 4k is not a viable options from what I've been reading. (Although the new Vizio 4k TVs coming out later this year will be the same price as the regular HD TVs now.) What I'm wondering is does it matter what "quality" TV I get? Will the picture quality still be limited in some way, since I'm not using cable? I've tried asking the TV sales people, and they're completely clueless, so I'm hoping to get some direction here. I just don't want to spend a lot more on a TV only to find out that the picture quality is still limited in some way. Thanks so much!
