Recommend me a good TV

[KIGO1987]

Another Qtr has passed,

What a good 32" LCD now days, good for Wipeout and is good for watching tv with?

[IH8YOU]

How about a 42" Tube CRT Kigo? It only weights about 250-300 pounds. 480i Goodness.

FYI - look into refresh / response times on whatever LCD you get - after moving from my LCD to my epic fail CRT - I still can't get over how much lag was induced on the LCD. I might do that "camera test" where you press the buttons while recording a video of your screen and controller - because I want to see how much of a difference there actually is.

[KIGO1987]

Most CRT have more smoother continuous picture flow than LCD, unless you get a good LCD, not a **** one.

I went with a mate a few hours ago. And actually bought a 32" HD LG LCD tv. Except it was my mate who bought it, not i. Im going to buy a Full HD one instead, just gonna wait just that little bit longer. But it was surely an entertaining experience today on the roads getting to places before they close down, lol, XD. My mates driving would be up there on some of the French TT and SL times, XD.

I'd personally recommend a Sony or Samsung LCD if you can afford it, they're generally the best. If you're an Aussie, check out the DTV forums at http://www.dtvforum.info/ , there's usually a lot of information that's helpful about buying new TV's and other lounge room equipment.

I would still recommend the same, KIGO. Sharp LC32D64U, or one of the family if you want bigger (There's only bigger, it's the smallest.) Should be around 900-1000$ CAD if you can find a good deal (though I doubt they respect currency exchange rates, so it would probably be 1000$ AUD too.

[KIGO1987]

Thanks for the link amp, interesting.

Yeah DD, Im very impressed with the Sharp range, Aquos range is quite impressive picture, the LC32D64U looks exactly what i want to get for a 32" tv.

The Aussie dollar is storming north now.... finally! It should be surpassing the US dollar soon at this rate, so imports will be very cheap

But in a few months two things are a definite, one, im going to upgrade from my utter cunty internet connection, something of 25mbps would be nice, two, a TV that will display Wipeout HD in its true colours. Full HD, and nothing lower than 100Hz.

My mate wont STFU about his new TV, so i might be upgrading sooner rather than later.

[Darkdrium777]

That Sharp Aquos isn't 100Hz though I think, only 60Hz.

ive been an avid fan of Samsung for quite some time now, and if you have 1.5 grand to spend on a TV i would go grab one of the LED tvs , i love my 40" one. 1080p 120htz. ... and your talking the true colors of Wipeout HD ....no plasma, LCD or CRT will match this beasts 3,000,000:1 Mega Contrast. look into it man .

[KIGO1987]

LED are available in Australia now. Only in Sony Bravia and Samsung brands atm. 42" is $4500 AUD, and the 32" are $2300. ****ed if im spending that amount of money on a tv. Very impressive picture.

Max im going to spend on a good 32" Full HD tv at least 100Hz is $1200 or less. Which is possible, not at the moment, they are still hovering in $1400 at the cheapest retailers. Still a tad too expensive. But since it will be one of the most used appliances in the house, i want to make sure to get it right. Ive holded off even longer getting a good 32" Full HD tellie till about now, thanks to the massive drop in the Aussie dollar at the 2008/2009 turnover. But i should get something with more tech in it now.

and down here at the low end of the spectrum,
I'm looking into getting a 1080p 24" LCD, they seem okay, it's just I'll probably be going flatting next year and get a Projector for movie's and a bit of gaming with friends so don't want to spend much on the LCD
I don't like TV(or don't think I should own one, tv makes people stupid), so I figured I'd just get an LCD, I currently have a crusty 19' LCD/TV/DVD thing I use for gaming/hooking my note & netbook up to that I want to pass on

so yeh many out their with 22-26" displays? care to give an opinion on what they are like to use/if they think they are big enough for gaming

I'm thinking about getting this one
yeh it's a cnet link and yeh cnet are full of it/have no idea what they're doing but it links to other reviews

"tv makes people stupid"

Nah. 'Stupid' people watch tv passively; 'smart' people watch tv actively.

[BulletWraith]

I meant in general as most people are susceptible, I know I am hehe

A 1080p 24" TV AFAIK doesn't exist, you would have to use a computer monitor. The Sharp I keep mentioning is the smallest I've seen for Full HD.

But: I recommend checking out the ViewSonic. I have a 20" VX2035wm and though native res is 1680x1050, it fully supports 1920x1080 without cropping or re-sizing.

[KIGO1987]

Ive got my eyes on this Sharp LC32D77X now. Looks pretty good.

Tad outta of the price range, but im very close of saying, **** it, and just buying it. The old CRT is on its last legs, plus Analogue signals are getting phased out in 2010 here in Aus anyway.

[z1r0rEi]

SHARP Aquos , is good, have 2 of them, 46“ & 37“ both 1080p

[yeldar2097]

Can I have one?

[z1r0rEi]

yes, u can yel, u can hav the 46“ m8, its not free, tho

[KIGO1987]

Can I have one?

Your from Surrey Yelder, there's probably hundreds of TVs like that out on the side of the road during spring cleaning.

[yeldar2097]

well my next-door-neighbour has a 42" in his bathroom if that counts?

you sure it's not free z1? i'll race you for it, you can have my...PS3 if you win

[z1r0rEi]
