Is 32" 1080P really worth it?

Heres another....

Nice is that by blu-ray or DVD?

Its a 1080p Trailer playing from a PS3.
There is also a USB on the side which can play MKV files.

Heres another which shows the black brilliantly, the actual clip playing is not full screen, its where the stars end so you can see how good the contrast is...

Before anyone asks, I only got the TV a couple days ago thats why I still have the stickers on.

You just have the stickers on to show off all its features to us

Deffo get a 1080p screen if you have good eyesight. To me, the difference between 1080p and 720p is clear.

If you don't have good eyesight, then just get a 720p. The pixels will be bigger and you'll be able to read text on your HTPC better.

How much was it? I'd post pictures of mine but my camera just makes a grainy image

I'd definitely go 1080P if using it as a computer monitor

If Quidco tracks I think about £390,

Just post some image

...... having problems with my X800GTO. Not sure if it's a driver problem (can't seem to get the proper ATI drivers installed and I think it's using the Microsoft implementation), or that it doesn't like 1080P over VGA. Might have to end up buying a HDCP graphics card and DVI->HDMI to get the full 1080P. Any thoughts?

My TV (which is a different make/model) only does 720p over VGA. For 1080p it's HDMI only

I've always found that I've brought the best I can afford as I know if I went for the lesser to save dosh I'd end up buying the higher range not soon after, thus buying twice. I know what I'd do to save the small chance of disappointment/regret. Each to our own though!

Bought the 32" LG 3000 for the bedroom yesterday (£340, haggle instore 4tw

So far looks ace, and sounds pretty good also, at least a lot better then i expected it to sound ;o so much so that i dont really 'miss' not having my 5.1 system from downstairs.

Manged to get 1080P over VGA, but had to use an nVidia card instead of ATI as the drivers just wouldn't install on my Windows 7 machine!

Were you using the windows 7 drivers?

Yeah, I tried the Windows7 drivers but had no joy. I also tried the Vista 32bit drivers, and the WHQL display driver-only package but it just wouldn't have it :/.

BiGT- · 3 Sep 2009 at 11:33

I took each picture with my monitor in the view so maybe it could light up around it, but im not sure if it did :confused:

any advice to take better pics?
