1080 Goodness I can haz

Justsomebloke · 12-12-2008, 18:04

Yer Baby

My washing machine blew up so I had to get my dough out

The only way I could suffer spending 300 of my quids on a washing machine was if I off set it with a Major Hd telly purchase

So off I popped & have dealt myself up a Bosch washing machine & a Samsung 40" HD TV full 1080p mofo, A 5 series I think

I blagged a 100 quid off the pair & paid 910 quid, 300 for the Bosch & 610 for my Samsung, I am awaiting delivery over the next few days or so

I hate spending money but have wanted a HD for Ages, Seeings I am working I thought **** it, Treat yourself lad

Think this is the baby

Very nice, enjoy

And don't forget to post pictures when you get it!

I love my 32" Samsung, really big improvement from the old monitor I used

Looks nice

I was impressed by the Samsungs I saw when I was looking for a new TV - FWIW they seemed every bit as good as the comparable Sonys.

I have the older version smasung 37" and it's awesome.

when you first turn it on you will be disappointed. You have to set up the display to get a good picture.

Google you model number and settings and you should find a few. I still spent a few hours tweaking it untill I was happy. It's stunning.

Have a look on AV Forums, they had a great thread for optimising the settings for my R88

Nice one dude

There's nowt better than when you plug your 360 into a big hd tv

I'm short on my luxury finances but I'm looking for a HD television - no fussed about size so 32 max - what recommendations does everyone have?

I'm only looking for normal use / 360 / films etc and have a cracking surround sound system at present

budget ~400/500 all in. any ideas the lovely ladies and illustrious gents?

I've got the Sony KDL32V4000 and it's brilliant. Use it for pretty much what you want it for, plus it's only about £350ish.

Great way to spend your first wage mate

Big HDTV + 360 = AWESOME
