LCD HDTV TV Brands - Which is best

Slyman2k4 · 18 Apr 2006 at 12:14

Its me again, invading all sections now.

Anyway, my current TV fried out about four times and they finally gave me vouchers (yay!) to get a new one from them (nay!). I dont know anything about HDTV LCD TVs so i was wondering if you peeps could help me out. Here is one i currently have my eye on:

LG RZ32LZ55 32" High Definition LCD TV (not really hdtv, just hdtv ready)

Does anyone know what a good brand would be to go with or any other good 32" models that are really recommended?

Oh yea and thanks to badass and his guides or i would still be scratching my head looking at their specs lol.

Well i managed to get looking around today and they have the LG 32LX2R and the Samsung LE32R51BD.

So hopefully one of those will be warming my bench tomorrow

.

Dont know if im bothered about it having issues with blacks, im only going to be using it for the 360 and movies etc

. Going to get a new monitor separately for the pc.

Cheers for the help lads.

Well i went again today and decided to go with the LG 32LX2R. Both it and the samsung were the same price and had the same feats i think, so it really came down to taste and the appearance of the LG 32LX2R appealed to me more.

Just have to wait till next wednesday to get it now

Cheers for the help lads

Sweet. Cheers Gordy, you've got me more excited for it to arrive now.

Slyman2k4 · 27 Apr 2006 at 22:40

got it yesterday. Plugged it in and it fried like my old tv lol. Looks like it was the expansion plugs that were guilty and their protection had slackened. Got it replaced anyway and got a new belkin expansion with protection and that and its running like a beast at the minute. Going to test my 360 on it tomorrow night and take a few pics of it sitting next to my pc. Didnt look as big in the store

Cheers for the help chaps

Im sorry for bumping this but does anyone know what would cause the TV to have mad flickering and distortion on the screen? It also has this massive pink bar going down the right. All can be seen faintly on the screenshot below. And yes all those little boxes are the flickering, not the webcam. I think its gonna give me a seizure soon lol

Slyman2k4 · 30 Apr 2006 at 21:47

source? It is all channels, including my consoles. It isnt just picture disortion, the built in menus and everything is messed up. It seems to fix itself after about 20mins of being plugged into the plug socket again, but thats still a problem

. If i keep it plugged in it works fine i think, but i dont like leaving the house or sleeping with it plugged in

Sounds like duff electrics which only work properly when warm. Either keep it plugged in or replace it.

Cheers bomag, going to get it replaced tomorrow. Luck with tv's is about -5 lol
