If this has found it's way to the wrong area or is just too damn dumb of a question, I apologize.

So - I have come across a free old LCD with NO HDMI inputs. 40" - about 8 yrs old. Works just fine. My question is, can I pick up an HD converter and actually get a better picture out of it? Or will I basically just be upgrading from my old concrete block of a 27" Sony and getting a slightly nicer analog TV? I feel as though I'm just getting a bit of an upgrade without full HD capabilities, but either way, I'm saying yes to a flatscreen, so it can't be that bad.

Thanks for any input.

Happy shaving and luxurious smokes to you all.
