Not all for Lord's, sometimes I venture to other grounds.

I've just watched Lord of the Rings on my new 40" Samsung backlit LED smart TV which I bought from John Lewis. They price matched it to Richer Sounds who were £20 cheaper.

Picture is good considering I'm not HD yet and using a £5 scart lead.

I'm upgrading my Sky to HD+ next week.

The only real issue so far is that I can't seem to get the sound to play through the Mission speakers and sub woofer. On my old TV I'd play out sound via the amp if I had a movie on. Don't want to buy a sound bar. But sound from the TV is better than I expected.

Snap. Picked yo the es5500 for just over 400 notes. Well happy.

I've now entered the world of pimps and drug dealers....

Does your amp have a digital optical in? If so there will be a similar plug which will be an out on the tv, I'm not sure of the sound quality but it shouldn't be bad. That way you can can connect the tv, other option is through the phono/RCA plugs which will be on the rear of your new box, not sure if your current box has that as an output. You should beable to buy those cables online or at retail shop. hope that helps, enjoy your new TV

glad you plumped for one afterall,

I bought the skype camera today which was expensive but worth it,

You may need to upgrade the surround system (i do) but that will be a while, I am using the headphone out cable into the surround.. works well enough till I upgrade to a new AV amp...

Lucky.
40" from currys all n for 440 quid. Tis alright tbh.

The good thing about using the headphone out option is that you control the volume form the original remote. Ok, the quality is a litte degraded from using optical, but saves having another remote.

So what you need LPH, is a 3.5mm to twin RCA(phono) y adapter. Plug the 3.5 into your tv and the RCA's into an AUX input on your hifi and roberts ya dads brother.

I got my LG 42LM670T at the weekend and its well good init.
