Hi Guys,
TV broke last night (Sharp Aquos LC-26GD7E)..
Need to get a new one today, have not kept up with latest and greatest models etc. Normally I would mull the purchase for weeks and do loads of research, but the broken TV has expediated things,somewhat!!
I need the following as a minimum:
-good 720P support (1366*768 ish as thats a good res for PC input too).
-VGA/DVI input (1:1) mapping for my mac mini (used as media centre).
-HDMI - for Playstation 3 (possibly 2 sockets for upgadeability).
-Component for my aging Xbox 360 Premium.
-Integrated Freeview with a EPG (The Sharp only had now and next).
-RGB SCART for a video sender I use sometimes and legacy support
That is the bare essentials.
I can do more research once people suggest a model number etc.
Price not too fussed but willing to go 700ish give or take on the high street. Has to be high street etc so I can try and return if I get dead pixels etc easily. Might even see if someone will price match etc.
Never owned a Sony Bravia so that would be a nice option. Not keen on those Samsungs with the uberglossy finish and silly Blue light, but can be talked around if they match my specs.
Help is much appreciated. I am gonna be in front of the PC all day, so will answer any comments in a timely fashion. And hope to buy something this afternoon.
