That certainly doesn't look like it'll be suitable to play PS3 games on. I mean, only 1080p? :o How will that ever display 4D?

The TV is not 1080p. 6ms will be pretty good for games. 

Try to find a good deal on a Sharp Aquos 32" 1080p. It's the only 1080p 32" HDTV out there and it has an awesome image. 

The TV will not display 1080p signals...it will only show 720p, sorry.

Decent TV for the money, but pay another few hundred and get a proper 1080p.

You should be able to get a 37 or 40" 1080p for around £600 or so.

Your TV sounds fine. Much better than my 30 inch, 1080i/720p set up. My experience is awesome. Yours will be better.

Thanks for the responses. The TV outputs at 720p but will input 1080p which a lot of TVs won't. I really can't afford anything more expensive. I'm minded to go for the 26" model instead which is £270.

@Krik Do you have a link for the Sharp Aquos 32"? I've had a search and none of the usual places have it in stock. It's not listed on pricerunner.co.uk (price comparison site) either. I doubt I'll be able to afford it though to be honest as the 20" model is almost as expensive as this.

For gaming or really anything 8 Ms and under will do you a world of good. For PC monitors they tend to support up to 120Hz but TV's for some reason lag behind, at 60Hz(except now some are coming out at 120Hz Samsung comes to mind)

The brightness on the TV is fine, but you got a low contrast which tends to give a hit to the trueness of the color reproduced(some 2008 model LCD screens have 30,000 : 1 contrast) personally I wouldn't go below 5,000:1 it does make the difference.

# Soft picture and no harm to your eyes


Why do companies still brag? LCD and really most progressive displays are less harmful to yours eyes, they get rid of the flicker that you can't really notice but it does affect your eyes.

Things to look for when buying an LCD TV:
Tuner type combo/digital only/both
Contrast ratio, there's no standard but the higher the ratio the better(mines 8,000:1)
Does it have HDMI, Component or any other connections you may want and how many?
Is there a Game Mode? Most lag on Digital TV's is from scaling and while some PS3 or 360 games may be put out in true HD(not upscaled) most are not and it takes time for your TV to process this. Game mode filters some of the process out to reduce lag if it isn't on the TV you probably will experience lag regardless of how good the TV may or may not be. Edit: Also as a note, it displays 1080i/p content but it's basically a 760p(not a real resolution but it is a bit higher than 720p) panel judging by the 1366x768 resolution. 1080p/i won't really make a difference in anything other than games to be honest... an LCD by nature is progressive and will put your interlaced picture together and display it as a solid picture. Progressive is 60 full frames per second Interlaced is 60 1/2 frames per second(30 full) but the TV LCD Plasma etc will take the half frames and put them together you end up with 30 Frames per second which is more than any content is filmed in.(movies TV etc are filmed in 24 Frames thus the 3:2 pulldown and the 24fps option on some bluray players.) However a 1080p set(as in the sets native resolution is 1080p) tend to have denser pixels making a better picture and 60 frames per second will yield benefit while playing video games or using a PC not so much for movies or TV that's more in the realm of the response time.

 Here is an amazon link to the standard version:

Yer 720P is ok for gaming with the Wii or older consoles.
If you want to use it for 1080p which some PS3 and X360 games do support(and certainly on PC) ,you need to get a real 1080P display 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 my 24 inch widescreen Dell monitor does ok i use a HDMI to DVI-D cable and the standards have slight differences which can cause problems though i am pretty happy with it - only one Blu-ray a small extra feature on planet earth on blu-ray would not work with the HDMI connection so i used component instead - everything else including all the other Blu-ray disks work great ovet the HDMI to DVI-D at full 1080P .

Get a smaller monitor with the full 1080P - if that is all you can afford.
If you want to watch Blu-ray or Hd-Dvd or 1080i off-air the full 1080p monitor is the way to go - also 1080P makes a very good computer monitor for desktop publishing - cad , viewing documents etc a 720 P monitor will be crap for this.
1080P is well worth the extra cost or going to a smaller size for they cost more but consider you get over 2* the number of pixels with the 1080P and Vision is the most powerfull sense so do your eyes a favour get 1080P if you can.

Thanks. Unfortunately they're out of my league even at US prices.

looks like you posted this on AVforums, i'd wait and see what they say but my initial reaction is to steer clear. use whatever you have for now and keep an eye out for a 32 inch sharp aquos, even the 1080i is good set.
