Recommend me an LCD
Hi
Looking for an LCD TV with the following as basic requirements - I was
looking at the WHICH site but they don't allow you to see their recommended
products without stumping up some cash (spose I'll bu ythe magazine tomorrow
then).
1) Must have a connection to connect up a PC (VG A or DVI) for a HTPC
2) 28 inch
3) Decent speakers as we wont have surround system but we dont go THAT loud
anyway.
4) Budget of around £500-600
5) Most importantly it must be HD ready for both 720 and 1080 and possibly
1080p. But most of our viewing is on SD TV so its essential it doesn't look
crap on SD TV like i see so many TVs do!
6) Less is more - prefer a think bezel and a plainer colour (silver
preferably)
7) Prefer to buy it from a 'proper' shop like Richer Sounds/ Argos/John
Lewis....also with a decent warranty.
Am I right i nthinking like montiors a 28inch will give a little extra
viewing space over a standard 28inch CRT? If so a 26inch LCD may do if it
matches a 28inch CRT.
Thanks

You cannot get a 1080p (Full HD) 28" LCD. 37" is the smallest.

You might want to have a word with Sharp then as they seem convinced they
have a 32" 1080p set

there's no physical reason (unlike with plasma) why you can't have a 1080p
small screen - after all you can buy laptops with 1920x1200 screens that are
15 inches.

I stand corrected then. Is that Sharp a new model just out?
Still a complete waste of time having a 1080p screen smaller than 40"
anyway - you will not be able to tell the difference.

have a 32" 1080p set

there's no physical reason (unlike with plasma) why you can't have a 1080p
