LCD Televisions
-
I am looking to buy a new television and was thinking of getting an LCD one so I thought I'd tap the fountain of knowledge. Does anyone have any experience of LCD televisions, are they worth the money and if so, what should I be looking for in a good one. SuzyB If I had a better memory I would remember more.

I also have been looking lately. The things I have learned so far are. 1. Plasma is better than LCD but more pricy. 2. You might as well just get a monitor, if you are using cable or a DVD tuner. Unsure still what we will get. Regardz Colin J Davies The most LinkedIn CPian (that I know of anyhow) :-)

Just a general comment, this won't help you at all in your search for technical accuracy... ;P <rant> I'm underwhelmed by LCD TVs. I was at Future Shop a while ago (Canada's version of Best Buy), and they had some 30" widescreen LCD on display in the PC section. Looked nice enough, but upon looking at XP's Display Properties I cringed. The best it could do was something like 1280x768 (or whatever the exact resolution for the correct 16:9 ratio). Damn. I have an utterly unimpressive 17" LCD that can do 1280x1024. If I'm gonna be showing a desktop roughly twice the surface area, then I want the resolution to match. When I put two 17" 1280x1024 monitors side-by-side, I have 2048x1024 to work with. What do I gain with this 30" LCD monitor? The fact that it's a single unit? Pfft! I want desktop real estate. This monitor ain't providing anything *at all*. The salesguy's argument was that this was really meant to be used as a TV, and not a monitor. Future Shop's got a whole different section for TVs, so why was it in the PC section hooked up to a PC and showing the XP desktop? </rant over>

have a look at: http://plasma.buyingguide.com.au/[^] http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com.au/[^] Keep in mind that: 1. being Australian sites, the info there might not apply to you 2. sites like these tend to attract the unhappy After spending half an hour on those sites I decided to postpone (I could have the same thing just by checking my wallet :-( ) OGR
