Fresh Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 OK situation; I would like to hook up my PC (atm DVI but could use VGA), X-Box 360 (atm VGA but could use the standard componant cable, old 360 no HDMI) and Wii (Has RGB and composite but would buy componant if needed) all to the same HDTV. 26 inchish would be brilliant! Sidenote : I'm an idiot when looking at HDTVs. Cheers!
thirtynine. Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129151 Really cheap, does hd great but not so great for SD telly.
Shorty Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Most HDTVs would come with all the ports for that anyway, surely? My TV was cheap and basic, it has a PC in port (just your regular monitor cable), 2 scart ports, RGB, composite and component in and 2 HDMI ports. I have my 360, wii and DVD player plugged in (granted I'm using HDMI because I have an elite, and component for Wii, but I could anyway) and have hooked up my PC to it in the past - it's fairly standard to get all that. Now, check out this site because my parents just got a TV from here and the service is great and the prices too http://www.directtvs.co.uk/32-39_Inch_LCD_TVs/prod.asp There's 32 inch TVs there from £289! edit: ah is that the same one that thirtynine. posted? but it's a little cheaper because with ebuyer you have to notice the "inc. VAT" price
Fresh Posted December 15, 2007 Author Posted December 15, 2007 Both great and what I'm looking for but a bit large for me uni room. Looking for something like this but 24-26 inch.
McPhee Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 A budget would help brilliantly, theres a huge gap from the bottom end of the scale to the top end.
McPhee Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Sony 26T3000 Panasonic LMD70 Samsung 26R87 (or R88, both are the same) You can easily get good 32" sets for under £500 too. Shop off the net if possible, the price gap is huge! Try stores like DirectTVs, DigiUK, RGB Direct, Richer Sounds and Sound And Vision are all really good!
Fresh Posted December 26, 2007 Author Posted December 26, 2007 I've had a look aorund and seen how big of a tv I can sensibly fit in my uni room. I've decided on the following: Samsung LE23R87BDX from here. Wii via Component by this. Xbox via VGA by this. PC via DVI to HDMI via this. I would then use my current speakers/sub for my PC. What I would like is for someone who knows more about this stuff than I to check it over for me and make sure everything should be fine. Just cheak that I have got all the connections fine and maybe tell me more about any DVI to HDMI issues (if there are any). Cheers!
