Xbox 1 and GC games in 480p look decent if you' re standing failry far from the TV, all PS2 games look like shit, even the 480p ones since ps2 doesnt really do 480p it just upscales from 480i.

And asking quez won' t make much difference since he won' t be using component cables and therefore 480p.

I have to say I' m shocked by LG LCD quality - I' ve got this laptop with their screen and it' s amazing - it' s better than my friends new MacBook Pro and Apple always had the best screens.Saturation,brightness and contrast are incredible.It shocked me when I learned that it' s a native 1400x1050 panel.

They really make good LCD' s.The worst thing about LCD Tv' s is their native resolution of 1366x768.

Yeah, i had the guy set the Samsung and LG side by side. They had a BBCHD preview disc running showing some wildlife footage and the LG was definately the nicest in terms of colour and black levels.

I' ll probably go with the LG. It' s really impressed my today, and after i' d pretty much settled on the Samsung R74 i' m glad i went to have one last look!

Im going to call and order one tomorrow and pick it up on Saturday as they didn' t have any instore. I now just need to find a DVD recorder capable of recording 720p. They do make those don' t they?! I' m strugling to find one locally.

Don' t forget to check your TV at store for bad pixels (they aren' t included in warranty) and definitely check some racing or fpp or other fast paced game on it (to see the response time).

I use VGA you idiots.

:P

My native reso on the screen is 1366x768 and ofc i have that on with my 360 in the dashboard.

ofc it scales down to 1280x720.

But anyway,it looks perfekt on my LCD TV at 720p.
ofc with VGA you don' t use " 720p" but 1280x720.

I haven' t seen anyone so proud of their 26" inch TV.I bet my 36 SDTV costs more now than that silly calculator screen of yours.

I laugh upon you for thinking apple screens are the best. They are decent but only a nub would consider them the best.

oh btw now we have a 56" 1080P DLP Samsung too. It looks better than the 65" . The viewing angle is amazing and maintains the insane contrast ratio even directly to the side. Not that the 65" was bad though.

I bought the LG in the end. I pissed the sales clerk off because they didn' t have a HD feed running on most of the TV' s, just the ones with their own demo' s, and i wanted to see 4 models side by side running the exact same HD footage. It took them and hour to set it up.

Anyway, the LG was bay far the nicest and the only thing putting me off a Bravia was the cost, otherwise the decision would have been easier. When the Bravias come down in price next year i' ll buy a 40" and try and mount it on my wall, but i seriously doubt it would take the weight and i' m not sure where the supports are.

My 360 and Dreamcast look superb, but the PS2 looks awful and the Gamecube looks blurred. The TV has a feature called XD that i can' t turn off, i think i might need to figure out how to access the service menu and configure everything manually rather than use the shit standard menu.

I now need a new laptop. Anybody like to offer their advice?!

Hmm, I can' t decide weither the price of " The most childish Kikizo Member 2006"
should go to Evil Man or locopuyo. But you' re both doing a great job, because it seems you' re becoming more childish each day. Congratulations!
