£840.13 http://www.waratah.co.uk They are also doing a offer that if you pay by debit card you get a extra £16 off !! so £824.13 its £1099.99 in Comet :zip:

I can really recommend waratah as a company really helpful once had a PC Monitor what went wrong they were out the next day collected it then delivered me a new one within days !! :)

I won't be, because I've got my Revolution on the way next year, which should set me back another £200 at least.

Driving lessons as well, and hopefully a truckload of 360 games.

I'm going to be pooooooor. :(

11/Nov/05, 11:39 PM
you think you lot have got problems. I haven't even got any cash for the 360...... yet lol.

Tob3z when you play XBOX on this TV are the games quite jaggy?? i think it shows so much detail that it makes it look a tad crap !! :| I'm using RGB scart

Tobes
12/Nov/05, 12:01 AM
Im using a HD Component pack. It doesn't look to bad. Its not the TVs fault.
The TV is so good it shows that the xbox doesn't have very good anti analising.
Don't worry about it to much. 360 will look perfect.
Try Burnout Revenge if you can get your hands on it. Now that game on the samsung looks..... ummmm so very very sweet. :D

You need to change your xbox to output NTSC video format. But it basicly is xbox hi def.

will this (http://www.sony.ie/view/ShowProduct.action?product=KV-28CL11&site=odw_en_IE&pageType=TechnicalSpecs&category=TVP+Widescreen+16x9+TV) tv be any better then a standard tv for playing the 360 on? i would get a HD TV but my girlfriend bought me the above tv for christmas last year and i would feel very very horrible replacing it so soon

DONK

If you are going to spend money i would save up the extra till you can afford a proper good HDTV it will be worth it in the long run to be completely future proof :geek:

what DONK said.

And Killer 57. Here in Europe we only have 2 HD CRT televisions and they suck. So you prob won't get many people saying that its a good tv.
We go down the LCD and Plasma route.... well not plasma as its stupidly expensive.
But have a gander at the Samsung 26" LCD. Its what I have but I don't know how much it would cost you in the US.

Ain't got my camera here at home at the moment, so no "real" picture... but nevertheless, this is the HDTV that I bought 2 weeks ago, a Samsung 32" LCD HDTV:

Tob3z, a tv like that would probably cost between $1000-$1500 money I dont have but thanks for the advise, Im just going to wait till next year when I save up enough money to get myself a TV like that :)

Wow, haven't seen that model before. Looks nice.
But notice how we all have samsungs? Perhaps the rest will follow in are steps.

Tob3z when you touch the top of you’re Samsung TV does it feel quite warm?

Tobes
20/Nov/05, 12:49 AM
Oh yeh lol. Defo warm. If you got cold hands just put them on top for a minute.
Nothing to worry about. A lot of LCDs get warm. Some even have fans.

Ohhh.. Yeah! I can show off my HDTV here!
Its a Toshiba 42" WLT58, was going for Plasma but the screen burn scared me away. Anyway this cost me £2k plus £300 for warranty, great set! Two HDMI ports as well, roll on HD! Mind the pics, its only a 2.0mp mobile pics. Also bought a 5.1 system with rear wireless speaker form Sony for £418.00. Mind the sofas and the room, we have been extending the house and so short of cash, need new sofa, curtains, table etc..
