| 1202977 | 2011-05-19 02:36:00 | I have a 40, I now wish I got a 46. 720 or 1080?? , avoid "HD READY" scam(?). look for true 1080 native, although you may not need it or be able to tell the diff between 720 & 1080, its nice to have it. :punk Unfortunately forget what they look like in the shop. They have no idea how to set them up. Ive seen good TV's looking awefull in shops ,often from a poor quality video source. Shops often have just cartoons running on display TV's , as these make the display look better. They also often come out of the box setup to look good in the shop, rather than a good,natural picture . Dont use the default settings. Have a look at the online reviews before handing over the $$ |

Most times places are quite accommodating if you're about to fork over a couple of grand, and will let you have a bit of a fiddle with the color settings etc. Heck, we even had one guy in Harvey Norman setup 3 whole different rigs from scratch for my wife and I just so we could compare and help make up our minds. The world needs more people like him. Sadly, we went with one from The Warehouse in the end :p |

| 1202979 | 2011-05-19 03:28:00 | When I bought my current plasma I asked the salesman if it was set up "over bright*" for shop display, he denied this. When I got her home and fired it up for the first time it asked if I wanted it in SHOP DEMO MODE or user mode....:lol: *or words to that effect Having said that, I'm more then happy with that TV. |

| 1202980 | 2011-05-19 03:54:00 | Exactly. It all depends on the screen resolution, are we talking 576i, 720p, 1080p?! Skip the plasmas, burn-in is a *****. Skip 3D, get movies that have already been filmed in 3D (Thats why there's a difference between "Disney 3D" and "Real3D" on certain movie cases). LCD is good if you're looking to be cheap LED is the way to go if you're looking for something to match the rest of your home cinema Higher refresh rates also look nice :D Sony vs Samsung vs Panasonic vs no-name brand, I wouldn't care, it's about bang-for-buck as far as I'm concerned, and nice picture quality as far as the viewer perceives it. Keen to hear what you end up with! Not sure on this advise Chilli, I always go LCD\LED up to 42, after that forget it, got to be plasma..... |

| 1202982 | 2011-05-19 03:56:00 | I thought burn-in was getting less of a problem these days?? Still there but they can handle more hours of the same image | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1202983 | 2011-05-19 07:40:00 | You've all forgotten about the all-important ethernet connection and the built-in media player that will stream video direct from your networked PCs. | decibel (11645) | ||
| 1202984 | 2011-05-19 07:55:00 | In this instance the TV will be acting as a monitor for the PC and will be hooked in via HDMI cable. And on that note I have just ordered the components for my new PC to go with the TV. I've now swung back to the 3D set I was looking at, The price is close enough to the non-3D units. |
