Cheapest 32inch tv?

[DarrenSV650S]

Can you find a better spec 32inch tv for the price? I can't stand squinting at my 10 year old BEKO trying to make out the writing while playing the xbox any more :lol:

Has anyone got this tv?

hmm not bad but the LG outspecs it. The "USB Media PVR USB Storage Device" sounds interesting though

He said better for less.

Who are F&H ?

I have at least heard of LG (cos I have a 42" tv of theirs)

[Bluefish]

Foehn & Hirsch they are a make german i believe, bought one of them for my sister a while back, next day delivery and you can almost guarentee they will be the cheapest from ebuyer.

I have 2 LG's both 32"'s. Ones a plasma one is an LCD and they are 3 years part in the technology stakes.

My Plasma is good, but the other one that my mum has is far superior in alsot every way and they cost the same.

i liek LG stuff, but i would pay some more and get one with a higher sceen rate like a 100Hz as it makes the picture a lot smoother watching sports and films with fast moving stuff in it.

[DarrenSV650S]

Can someone in either Eton, London, Manchester, Plymouth, Romford, Southampton or Weybridge buy one of these and post it to me please

One is in my local store. So could do that. However, if they are showing1, its either the display model or they havent got it.

it's alright , I'm sure it's been as low as £205 though (or that might have been the 450)

[Dave Mac]

what does the contrast ration mean?

[Dave20046]

not sure about ration (suspecting typo?), ratio would be the scale of dark & brightness. Higher the better I guess.

again.. me not paying attention lol

[mikerj]

Foehn & Hirsch they are a make german i believe, bought one of them for my sister a while back, next day delivery and you can almost guarentee they will be the cheapest from ebuyer.

Foehn & Hirsch are eBuyers own brand name (e.g. like 'Matsui' was to Dixons), they stick the badge on whatever they can get the cheapest which is almost inevitably Chinese built. You will see they sell cheap Chinese MP3 players under this badge as well.

I'm not saying they will be any worse than other cheap brands, but you aren't getting Swiss or German engineering as the name might suggest.

[Viney]

The contrast ratio is the, erm, Ratio between the blacks and the colours on the screen and yes the higher the better. although some screens with lower CR can be better all depending on how they handle the black on the screen. LED units have a higher CR as well as better black due to the nature of LED backlighting.

[Dave Mac]

so by high i take it that means a ratio of
1:1 good
as opposed to
4000:1 bad

[tigersaw]

4000:1 bad

tother way round.
And regarding LED backlighting, there are two sorts, the cheaper edge lit LED backlighting, which is pretty much no advantage at all, and the more expensive 'proper' LED backlighting, that due to its position behind the matrix, can have its intensity varied dependant on the picture to be displayed, meaning it can produce much deeper blacks and thus higher contrast ratio.

[Dave Mac]

lol so the tv i posted was good then?

[Dave Mac]

forget it, that is pants at 4000:1

[DarrenSV650S]

I got this one
http://www.richersounds.com/product/lcd-tv/lg/32ld490/lg-32ld490

Good stuff:
It's got Youtube and BBC iplayer in HD! and also has facebook and twitter which I don't use, and there's a few other things too. Oh and the xbox looks amazing now. I can actually read stuff in the games!

Bad stuff:
The sky is plugged in with the scart cable and it is getting some wobbling on the screen. It seems to be when I go in to tv guide or come out. Or if I go on sky active it's really bad. It's like the screen is moving up and down by a few pixels. It does it a few times quickly then settles down. Pretty annoying. If I can't get it sorted I'll be taking it back.

There's a delay with the xbox which is pretty noticeable. When I pull the throttle trigger it's just not instant like it was on the old CRT. I set up sky on both tvs to see the difference, and there is about half a second of lag between them.

[andrewsmith]

you need to change the settings to gamer on LG's and most modern TV's

[metalmonkey]

You want something with a good dyanimic range, difference black to white ie the grey scale.

If a TV can not do black that well, the picture is crap as it will not display black properly. So you need a TV that is able display black well, thus a better picture. You want a screen that is progressive, as 1080i is not full hd due to the interlacing. That is why we are shooting 1080i 24p for a show we are filming now.

Do not buy cheap it will look crap and probally break at some point. Get something that is full HD. At some point I would have thought the bandwith of HD broadcast will jacked up, its kinda low at the moment but who knows.

Yep done that
