In theory it should be a sharper picture over VGA (more pixels), but you wont really notice on screens our size

That is ok because I thought that component looked better than VGA

Component is definitely brighter on our telly, but being used to VGA I notice a difference so I've left it. Mine's a higher resolution though so maybe that's why :dunno:

What res do you run it at Daz?
After fiddling around with the colour I've settled on HDMI. The vibrant colours, although at first, very pretty, got a bit painful on the eyes

Daz · 18-01-2008, 22:58

1360x768, reference levels expanded

Had the same res on the smaller Sammy, but only had the reference levels on intermediate. Didnt look as right on the 37"

Ahh same here. Just curious really

Woot, I finally have my Sky modem (and my 42" LG has arrived as well!), but as Lynne's dad is here putting in a shower and sorting some electrics for us I can't plug it in yet to make sure my line is active. It's not the Netgear router I thought I'd get, but a Sagem F@ST 2504 instead, which are apparantly very good modems (according to the guys at http://www.skyuser.co.uk), but are currently unhackable when it comes to finding out my username and password. Hopefully that'll change soon enough as I'd like to know my details simply so I can use my own Netgear modem as a backup should anything happen to this one.

All being well, I should be kicking some ass on COD4 on my 42" before the day is out

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
