If anyone is interested in a 26inch LCD for ?378 (although it has a response time of 25ms) HDTV component support

For anyone interested and with a Panasonic Q, HOOK IT UP TO YOUR TELLY. I'm using crappy composite to connect it up to my TV, and the quality of the DVD is infinitely better than anything on PS2. I'd assume S-video would be better. Can't wait to try it now

I tried S-video with the cube on my Sharp, and Res 4 looked awful. Just showed up all the imperfections you would never notice on a normal TV. At firist i thought something was wrong with the TV, but my freeview box using RGB is crisp and clear (well as good as you can get with freeview anyway) Im now in the market for some cube component leads so i can play the game again.

I dunno about games, never tried those. Plus Resi 4 is infamous for being not so 'hot' on LCDs. I was talking more about the DVD playback of the Q (or perhaps how bad the PS2 playback is?)

It could be my S-video lead has had it anyway. I have been using it since the N64 days

I had a chance of picking up a Panasonic Q a while back, and passed on it (what a plonker)

LCD owners should consider wall-mounting. I put my Samsung on a sub ?30 mount with all connections and power bunched in to a single vertical cable tidy and it looks the business.

Nice find - what about ghosting though with that response time?

[EvilBoris]

its has a nasty 25ms response time

[asnozz]

indeed, I find my 10ms monitor fine although there is a big difference between this and that. Maybe worth a shot to see if its any good, if not just flog it on ebay

Even the cheap 20 quid 2.1 speakers they sell down Asda are better than the speakers on most TV's. They plug into the headphones port on most sets fine too.

atrus, that telly looks lovely What consoles have you tried on it and what is RGB like on it?

Anyone got this one or can vouch for it:
