Mission - Get Jim A Hdtv.... :)

[Jimlad]

want at least a 32" bugger! :)

[chris202]

Hmm?

Jim if you find any really good deals please pass the info on , my 15' tv sucks ***** :D

[Leeky]

All good TV's but check out the contrast ratios. Most of those posted are either 800:1 or 1000:1. The digimax i posted has a 1200:1 ratio which gives a much much better picture quality and seeing as HDTV is all about picture quality - nuff said

Also that Digimax is by far the cheapest around ;)

[Jimlad]

Ok....

so I've more or less narrowed it down to these 3...

http://www.directtvs.co.uk/Viewpia_LC-32IE...E22/version.asp

http://www.misco.co.uk/productinformation/...ch%20LCD-TV.htm

So out of these three... which is best? 2nd one because it has more connections and is 1200:1 ??

Or the first one because it has more features, like picture in picture etc??

HELP!.... :)

[DaveSR]

Look for LG or Samsung TVs as they are the best/most upto date features ........ you want it to display 1080p/1080i and have multi HDMI slots !

Using an xbox 360 the graphics are immense

No point spending £600 on a **** tv when you can spend an extra couple of hundred and get something decent and TRUE HD ...........

!

[JappyBeast]

Mine does 1080i and at a budget price...

Come on... all the insides are the same, its the name you pay for.

Not sure about the others but I wouldn't get a goodmans. I've had two before and neither of them lasted longer than a few years.

I know Acoustic Solutions do really good stereo's, not heard anything about there TV's.

[Jimlad]

gonna get this one...

seems decent and does everything I need.... :)

Good choice !

PiP (Picture in picture) allows you to watch two different channels at the same time. You select the channel you want to watch then press the PiP button and then a small box will popup with another channel in it. You can change the channel on both and also switch audio from one to the other ........ great for footie if the missus wants to watch something else !
