Default 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

Yeah it's a bit too white at the moment, got to have it all matching


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.
