I can't see how 1080p on a 37" screen would be noticably better than 720p. Maybe on a 40"+ screen. And certainly not for the money you have to pay.

looking around this one seems pretty good value- tho this borders thing has me worried.Originally posted by recipher
Im slightly confused whether or not this one below is HD as some sites say it is, while others say its not- can anybody clear the matter up for me?
cheers for any advice.Comment

That Woolworths one only provides HD through the VGA connector. That's fine for stuff like the 360 or Component (using a transcoder), but no HDCP/HDMI/DVI.
As for the latter... it's news to me that that one has a HDMI actually... I was not aware of this, and a quick Google search shows most other sites don't mention it. Give them an email and ask them if the set definately does have a HDMI, and that it supports HDCP.Comment

There are loads of reviews of the 30" version here if you want them.
Some of them are comments about Lowest On Web's (a part of Evesham) service, though (which is bloody good).Comment

Been to see my mates 26' Sammy tonight he was running his Xbox using the original cable and scart block thing, and was happy with the picture, when I got there I was expecting it to look terrible but it didn't, when we switched to my officail RGB scart, it hardly looked any better.
In fact I checked dash settings, AV socket and menu. I was expecting a more pronounced improvement. Bringing the feed info up onscreen didn't mention if the signal was RBG, it just showed the colour balance and that the signal was from EXT1.
Had I missed something?
I also took my (gutless) laptop round with some high def demo clips. I tried to send the signal to the LCD whihc worked but it didn't really blow me away. the picture still looked like a blown up/zoomed in movie download. I couldn't get the laptop to solely use the extra monitor, just both at once. and its just a VGA lead not DVI, but I was expecting more to be honest.
Xbox games looked OK but Fifa 06 lacked clarity on the players and Doom 3 looked muddled.
I hope Xbox 360 looks perfect otherwise he is going to resent listening to my advice and recommendations.
Please tell me I missed something simple...
Screen looked sexy thoughComment

Scart does look a bit mediocre on LCD screens. It's all about Component now.Comment

How does this LG compare to the 26" Sammy:
I'm looking to order this week, the Sammy is a bitch to find though

you should soft mod the xbox for the progressive scan option that will look much better when using component leadsComment

I have that LG. Can't compare to the Samsung, but I love it. And seems to upscale SD very well too.
I have a problem with my set in that the baseline brightness for the Component is too high, but I'm pretty sure that's just an issue with my set specifically.
Has a DVI-I, compared to the Samsungs VGA. The advantage is that DVI-I can be used for both DVI-D and VGA input.Comment

I have just read through the whole thread on avforums about this TV and it looks as if its my choiceOriginally posted by Shakey_Jake33
I'll prob go into town and have a look at all the pictures but from impressions it seems like this one is great.

wod saidIt was a move from composite to official scart, it doesn't seem worth importing a set of component leads when the 360 big pack includes a set and is here next month (fingers crossed)you should soft mod the xbox for the progressive scan option that will look much better when using component leads
I was expecting the TV info pop up to say ext 1 RGB like my Panasonic CRT but I guess you cant
thanks for the response anywayComment

You don't need to import. Go to ebay or get some unofficial leads from someone like TV Cables.Comment

Yeah same here...except the 32" version. Only thing holding me back is that it is slightly wider than the Samsung. It'll still fit where I want it, but only just. The recommended 4" clearence either side may be slightly ignored, which could be bad.Originally posted by demon9kI have just read through the whole thread on avforums about this TV and it looks as if its my choice I'll prob go into town and have a look at all the pictures but from impressions it seems like this one is great.Comment

You really think there won't be a significant difference. If so I might aswell buy the JVC 37" I have my eye on.Originally posted by recipher
37" is the maximum size I want- there is no way I would go near a 40". Maybe it is correct when people say 1080P is for massive screens!
More opinions please!

I've decided to go for the Panasonic LX52 as a replacement for my busted Samsung 32".
No need for the VGA input of the ?400 more expensive 500, or the SD card recording!!Comment
