| 672554 | 2008-05-26 20:53:00 | I agree totally with Metla but would extend that to anything technical or electrical or almost anything for that matter. I rarely go shopping with wife for anything now days, too many years married to her I guess. |

| 672555 | 2008-05-26 20:57:00 | A bloke I spoke to at a retail shop recently when I asked about FULL 1080i told me that is only currently available on 42" LCD's and upwards. Not sure if it was true or not, but they did have a seperate area for TV's that were all labeled Full 1080i, as opposed to other LCD's around the shop that just said they had HDMi Port(s) | Bantu (52) | ||

Having under 42" will be impossible to tell on moving images. |

Having under 42" will be impossible to tell on moving images. yeah, thats right! and I believe there were some issues in production of smaller panels with 1080p displays as per pixel pitch issues. Supposed to be harder to do and because the difference isn't "OMG WOW", it isn't that cost effective, though you can still find some smaller ones (not common makes) about. I saw a couple new Acer( :yuck: ) laptops out with 17 & 19" monitors and 1080p display, had a look at them and nothing special, but then again that is Acer so go figure.

| 672560 | 2008-05-27 05:55:00 | 1080 is commonly available on 24" LCDs and upwards, even smaller for laptop screens. Though once you get to 30" there seems to be a gap from all the big brands till 40/42". I know these are "computer monitors" but in all reality they are still LCDs and just as big if not bigger than what some people use for a TV |

| 672562 | 2008-05-28 00:37:00 | I personally have a German made Grundig 32 in LCD, and it is very good, but too expensive for no noticeable advantage. You can't go wrong with Sony Bravia - You will not get a full HD 1900 x 1080 in less than 102cm because no one makes them, and you don't need that resolution on a 32 in. If you look at the optimum viewing distance as 4 x the screen diagonal, you need quite a decent sized room to warrant going bigger than 32in - The optimum viewing distance for a 32 in being about 3 metres from the screen. |
