Ok, i think i' m getting one of the the Samsung R74' s.

The ones used on Microsoft' s 360 pods are R73' s and i was consider getting one of those, but take a LOOK for yourself and tell me what you think.

Go for it majik, good price too.

I was going to wait until the 27th when i get paid but i may just empty my game fund (currently standing at £900) and buy the TV early and then transfer my wage into the other account once i' ve been paid.

you have an 900 game fund??

what job do you have?

I' m at uni. Well, term doesn' t start for another 2 weeks yet.

I work part time in Gamestation, work part time at the Emporium Bar in Middlesbrough (ususally Friday/Saturday nights), i do data analysis for my dad' s consultancy business, my parents pay my rent, i have a student loan and i have a £2500 overdraft on my Switch.

Every month i put about £200 into my current account that i use for bying things like DVD' s, CD' s and games. I just can' t remember the last time i bought a CD or a DVD...

Majik , let me know how' s your new TV doing - I' m thinking about getting some LCD TV instead of projector lately and those Samsung LCDs look nice.

It' s so fuckin hard to get a CRT HDTV :(

It' s a cryin shame. I was eyeballing one at Best-Buy over labor day, and it was running for 599 with financing. Sadly, I wasn' t carrying what they were asking for money down, which is a good thing, otherwise I would' ve dumped all my funds into that thing, and had nothing left come Wiitime.

HDTV kick ass!

Yes, your ass. Because yours didn' t have component inputs

I play in HD.

You see with a HDTV you wanna play in HD..

Yeah ofcourse. I' ll likely be getting in next Saturday (once i' ve been paid on the 22nd) and i' ll post a ton of pictures of it up and running and of the ports etc.

I might go for 40" samsung LCD if I won' t be getting my native 720p projector.

I' d love to hear your opinion on DVD playback :)

How big will your TV be? 32?

27" actually. Only because i plan on getting a bigger TV early-ish next year when i move into new accomodation. I figured that for right now 27" would be big enough, especially seeing as split-screen gaming is dead.

I really want a 1080p HDTV but the cost and size is putting me off.

I' d love to hear your opinion on DVD playback :)

Specifically?! Is there something i need to know about DVD playback on the Samsungs?!

No it' s just that I' d like to know how they handle DVDs - it' s different for every HDTV.

I don' t know if there' s LAG when displaying 480i signal , but they deal with it pretty nice - I' ve seen some analog television show playing on it and it was really good.

I wouldn' t go below 36" now , but I have a big room and I' m sitting far from TV.

That' s why 100" HD Projector is still on my mind :)

What size TV did you buy to replace the one you had your Xbox hooked up to?

I' ve been playing on 29" TV at first and now (for over e year now to be precise) I have a nice 36" 16:9

That' s why I can' t go any lower than this :)

Yes, your ass. Because yours didn' t have component inputs

I play in rather close quarters, so I' m not planning on going enormously huge, maybe a 26 or so.

Ok, after much deliberation and several trips to several stores to see HDTV' s in their natural habitats i' ve norrowed it down to either the Samsung R74 range or The LGLX range.

I think i' m actually going for a 32" instead of my previous planned 27" and i' m going to have it on a stand rather than mounted on a wall.

When i went to see the TV' s side by side i found the LG to have a nicer picture. The samsungs are extremely nice too and there' s not much difference in the price. Either way, next weekend i' m buying one of them.

What i now want to know (Joe) is how Gamecube and Dreamcast games will look when displayed on a TV that has a native resolution of 1366 x 768.

Majik my tv is a native resolution of 1366 x 768.

I can try it on my GC tonight.

But its the Swedish election for the GOv live on TV now,i need to see who wins first.
