Question for the experts: These Flat Screen TV's

[Spacecadet]

Milan,

After lots of research I eventually bought a 37" Samsung. Decent write ups etc, looked OK trying it with various things.

Its main source in terrestrial digital - it has a built in decoder.

In some things it's great, others crap. XBOS is great. New DVD's are excellent, new TV programmes are excellent too.

Anything that is a bit old is pretty dire. Lot's of ghosting round movement, characters. The channel 4 logo is particularly bad. Cleary the decoding isn't necessarily great depending upon the media source.

So, whatever you device, try and play a selection of media through it first. Also watch some things that move quickly.

Of course mine is a few months old now so no doubt hopelessly out of date....

I got a 42" plasma 720p Samsung last summer (the full 1080 was way to expensive for that size).
Apart from the issue with the Channel 4 Logo its been fantastic, although it did take a little while to get the colour balance right as out of the box settings were rubbish.

apart from the TV viewing (Virgin media standard cable box) everything is done through the PS3 and a HDMI connection. Really can't fault it.

Our tv went bonkers yesterday - turned over the channel and all we got was a green screen.... then when we kept switching channel again - all we were getting was a green screen..... so we turned it off, said a little prayer, turned it on again and lo and behold it worked.....The camera panned out and it was a shot of a green field

Thank God for that!!!

why not go back and edit it - insert some references to handbags, manbags, & scrotebags and surround them all with dancing bananas. or something.

You definitely get what you pay for with these HD flat screen TV's. Myself and family members have recently bought a few between us. We've bought Samsung and Sony and not been disappointed with any of them between 20" and 42".

Been thinking about getting a 30" Apple display to double as TV (hey I have a small flat). Anyone else got this setup?
