Posted November 27, 2006 I've read through the other TV topics but couldn't really make sense of things. I want a new TV for crimbo and I was looking at some of the nice big 42" ones. And as far as I know...I should be going for a HDTV. So in terms of using the Wii on a HDTV...do I just need to get the component cables to get the best picture? Aaaand, if anyone could shed some light on Rear Projection, Flat Panel, LCD, Plasma etc I would be greatful. First TV I came to was this one which I like the look of http://www.comet.co.uk/cometbrowse/product.do?sku=274453 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That thread is very informative. I don't know about that TV, but i have a Samsung R7 model and i love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 £700 for a 42-inch HDTV? wow! Only problem i can see there is that Rear-Projection TVs are rather susceptible to 'screen-burn'. If you leave it displaying a still image for a long period of time the image will burn into the screen, theres a chance of this happening with any TV but Rear-Projection increases the risk dramatically. If your carefull with it then you've got yourself a bargain, just be carefull not to leave games on pause for long periods of time (like while you go to eat dinner) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 Yeah I never leave stuff on pause anyways..I'm too conscious about saving energy and the planet etc, lol. But it also depends on how long. I mean...the longest I play is about 2 - 3 hours. I don't want a D pad and a few buttons burned on the screen after playing Zelda lol! And yes indeed to that "wow". But I'm thinkin maybe there has to be a reason its only £699. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 I find it weird it says it has Virtual Dolby Surround Sound and then in another place it says it doesn't... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2006 So assuming I wont be on the same channel or playing for long periods of time...would anyone recommend that TV? Or am I better off getting an LCD one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2006 The only reasons i can see for it being so cheap are because of screen burn and size. 42-inch diagonal and 36cm deep, bit of a beast! Might also be worth considering this: http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?quicklinx=48FK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
