Its normally marginal( IMHO you wouldn't usually notice it) and if your surround sound system is any good, it will compensate for it anyway.

I wouldn't worry.

You probably would not have noticed.

PS Why the Hell are these so much cheaper than anything else?

Thanks

Mike.

They are cheap because they want to get into the market, what better way? Make cheap good quality products and when they come to getting another they will come back to you.

The speakers with this system are no worse than any other similar TV, I was mearly saying that if you want a fully emersive experiance then youll want to get surround sound.

About the delay, ive never had an issue! Other than with sky on the odd occation losing sync, but thats sky for you.

Get a Hannspree and im sure you wont regret it... You cannot for that money!

Thats my logic.....for a third of the price, you can't really complain.

The HD boxes have a 'delay' function in the set up to cope with this issue.

I've been meaning to get a new TV since I moved into my house.

If I get one of these Hanspree ones, how easy (or difficult) are they to set up and connect to my Sky box and DVD/VCR?

as i have the dvd player, virgin box and the wii i use a scart switching box, about 12£ from argos etc, probably better ways but cheap enough.

let u know about the hannespree, when I get one...

Ive just bought a Toshiba 37x3030d. Cracking TV and available from Comet for £650

Upscaling dvd players seem all the rage now to complement HD tellys - do they make a noticeable difference or is it all hype?

My PS 3 upscales standard DVD's. I think it looks a bit better, but not by a vast amount. I think the telly needs to be bigger, only 32 inch JVC LCD at the moment!
