New TV :D
My crappy camera phone makes it look a bit crap but ah well if I can i'll borrow my Mum's decent camera to show off to myself
Finally managed it Got a Samsung LE32R88BD for around £440 after quidco. Cables are a total mess because I'm waiting till the HDMI cable arrives for the 360 before I use a cable tidy on them. Really pleased so far, huge upgrade from the 19" TFT I used for the 360 and the 20" CRT TV I had. Going to plug an external HD into the 360 so I can stream movies off it for when I'm in bed And it means I can see what I'm trying to shoot in CoD4 Really does look so much crisper, going to give my old games a new lease of life I think.

Top TV Jen, look great. It really is a huge improvement over CRT's, I remember when we got ours, it made a huge difference

I bought the Sumsang 40" for £650 in the sales. Top notch TV for gaming (Pete's xBox looks great) and HD TV but SD looks crap at times tbh.
They do look great though

I'm not too worried about SDTV Huddy It's mainly for DVDs and the 360, but hopefully in a few months I can raise the funds for a V+ box and that should help a lot. Yeah, a few blanks and an X-Files box set. No VCR though to play them on! The old TV had a built in VCR although I never really used it.

It's one of the reason I went for our TV over LCD because the SD stuff looks great and HD just looks amazing.
