Hi all

What TV's are best in this price range? I'm looking for 26" - 32" really. I've been looking at the cheapo Hanns-G ones, and the more expensive Samsung ones and I'm debating over which one will be the better one, or whether there's one I've missed.

I'll be using it for Xbox 360 (through component), my PC (through HDMI) and my PS2. (S-video or component)

Cheers :)
 
That Vistron looks pretty decent, good specs too. Wonder how it copes with upscaling? One reason I've been put off the Hanns-G is a few posts about it upscaling poorly. But having said that I'll only be using the PC through it to watch DVDs/videos.
 
There's 311 of the Silver ones! I'd prefer a silver one as my monitor has a silver bezel, so it'll match better as it'll be placed next to it.

You can get the 26" Samsung Bordeaux for about £400, not sure it's worth the extra £50 given you get a smaller screen too. I think the contrast is a fair bit better though, at 5000:1.
 
contrast isnt everything, the vistron's contrast is by far enough to the eye and for both our uses. the only thing i'd warn about the silver, is manufactures are stopping making silver tv's it is proven to cause distraction from the picture, black allows you to fixate better on your glorious hd images lol
 
I'll take the comment on silver bezels being distracting with a shedload of salt :p

I know what you mean about the contrast - my Hanns-G monitor doesn't have the highest contrast (700:1 I think) but it's plenty bright for me, and the blacks/whites are well defined.
 
just spoke to the company stocking the vistron and apparently they wont be getting anymore in....but they are getting a new product next week of similar spec. Im a bit cheesed off :mad:
