Here's the best bit. All these amazing specs and the TV costs less than £500. It looks gob smackingly good value. What do you guys think?
 
Without seeing the picture in the flesh it is hard to comment.
For comparison a lot of big brand 32" lcd tvs are around £599-£650.
 
The only thing you haven't mentioned in your spec list is the response time. 16ms or less would be good as you don't want ghosting.

i tried it on vga output on pc connecting to the vga input on the LCD and didn't like it but i only use it for 360/dvd movie and freeview recordings.

BUT
You can also use DVI output on pc and get a dvi to hdmi adapter and plug that into the hdmi on the TV, i would gather then it would give a perfect picture

Doesn't DVI to HDMI cause overscan, or what I assume is overscan where the image doesn't quite fit the screen? I have very slight overscan on my Samsung 32" HD CRT (lose a bit at the sides, and a bit off the bottom) via DVI to HDMI.

Don't forget that DVI doesn't carry audio either; not that it matters from a PC.

(Here's a Wiki on overscan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan )
