Post subject:  LCD-TV for my console games
Ive been using a crappy old tv for years so ive decided to go out and get something decent.

This is what ive found and more than likely gonna buy:http: http://www.dealtime.co.uk/xPF-26PF8946

Has anyone here got the same model or something similar? Is it good for console games?

The onlt thing that bothers me about this particular review is "TV’s only key flaw, smearing over motion, kicks in"????? ??????? Would this affect the quality of my games while playing?

If you can suggest something better please post a link

Thanks to anyone who can help

Cant help I'm afraid...

I'll probably spend most of the weekend wandering around TV shops trying to decide LCD/Plasma/DLP myself.

I'm sure if it displays fast moving TV pictures OK, it will be fine for games.

Kaldru=GCHQ=: I agree

I was able to try out the tv lastnight and i have to say i wasnt impressed

Tv signal: rubbish.

Dvd's: fantastic on this tv. The quality of the picture was great so watching dvd's on it would be fine.

Gameing: at first i wasnt impressed at all with the picture, it was fuzzy and very blurred and there was problems around small details like eyes and hands etc. Then one of the guys in comet recommended the new scart cables for the ps2 (also available for xbox) and it did improve the picture quality hugely around the small details and alot of other things but it was still very blurred.

I havnt bought one yet as i dont think i should spend that type of money on something that isnt very good for my main purpose, gameing.
So unless i go out and spend half the price on a big bulky tv which i didnt really want it looks like im gonna be sticking with my old tv for now.

Please post if you can recommend anything else.

Cheers :D

I dunno?

I was able to try out the thomson lcd-tv they had there too and that was slightly better with quality and it had more connections at the back.

If im lucky there will be a lcd-tv that can produce a better,sharper image for my games compared to what ive seen.

Have you been able to ask your friends at work to see what they say??

Im still tempted to get one but maybe something cheaper and i would go lcd anyway i never did like plasma.

Thanks for asking for me :D

I might wait till i get my ps3 and then go out and test some tv's :lol:
