^damn you got a nice deal. I got a samsung hd 32 inch for $800 last thanksgiving.
The game also depends on what kind of cables youre using. If you are using the 3 pronged A/V cables on an HD, it won't look as nice as it would with a 5 prong component cable. Granted, a ps2 would look better on my new tv then my old 70's TV anyway you look at it, but the cables will matter too if you want the clearest picture.
