help needed: choosing between Hyundai A321 & Q321

[Phantom]

Both these models can be had for £600 and the only difference I can see is that one has an analogue receiver and the other digital. is that the only difference? how do i choose between the two? are they otherwise totally identical? whats the point in retailing both at the same price?

someone help me choose please!

i thought the Q321 was more expensive ? or is that a Qxxx different model ?

you can find it for the same price if you look hard enough... thats not the issue though - im trying to work out if one is actuallybetter than the other or is it purely down to one being the analogue/digital difference

the claims are that its got a more recent panel. But the reality is that not many people have noticed any discernable difference.

Q321 has DVI whereas the A321 hasn't. Q321 has had some lip sync problems, check out the AV Forums for more information on both.

I bought a A321 and its absolutely amazing with quality HD source material. Shame it had 5 lazy pixels, but sent back for a replacement

Thanks Barely Legal - thats some really useful information. I've taken a look at the AV forum but there are 150+ pages to read through on that thread... and people seem to give mixed feedback

I read through the entire A321 thread and to be honest, the only thing that put me off was that the original batch were sent out with incorrect spec ( Lack of HDMI input for example ) It appears that the Q321 has inbuilt freeview, the A321 a slightly better panel.

I have to say though, after taking the plunge and grabbing one I haven't looked back, it's a stunning piece of kit.

McBain is that the A321 you bought or the Q321? I'm not sure if builtin freeview will be of use as it'll be plugged into a sky box and i doubt it'd ever be used as a monitor either... so i'd want the best screen/panel(?) for my £600...

Just ordered the A321 *runs around all excited*

I've had my A321 about a week and its brilliant, looks like it cost double and has every connection you'll need, fantastic picture quality, i can't find a thing wrong with it yet...

if anyone wants any more info or photos, i'd be happy to help as I know i'd have loved more info when i was deciding on which one to get

ja5on, if you can post pics of your A321 which shows build quality of the unit,frame,stand and speakers that would be great I wont get to see this for a few weeks yet (until i book time off) but I'd like to know what the tv i bought looks like

cheers!

perfect - thanks guys!

a camera wont ever be able to capture true picture quality that the lcd outputs however... how about how it looks when its off (so you can see the fame) - it tends to be darkened when theres a light source in front of the camera (from the screen itself). sorry to be a pain how big is the width of the frame that goes round the lcd? what does the remote look like?


ta muchly!

kind of an emergency request....

could someone give me a point by point set of instructions from switching on the set to tuning the tv? the person i bought the tv for said theyre not able to tune it. as im not there i have no idea what they need to do/navigating menus etc. in order to get it up and running. has anyone else had problems getting the tv to search for channels?? do they select "PAL/SECAM" ?

is there an online manual for this set?
