I've been to 3 of the big super store's to check out the 26" and 32" sammy's to see the picture quality, here's how i got on.
First off the store named after a Indian food
As i walked in i saw a 26" sammy with a Xbox 360 connected up but it was not working due to " not having the cables " pfft it was also setting off the alarms lol.
Anyways I move through the store and came across another 26" sammy with a DVD running on it, now to me it seems slighty blurry and just did'nt look as good a picture as the old TV we have in the living room, i said this to one of the people who worked there and they said "it looks fine to me" yeah you going to say that I thought to my self hehe.
Anyways I looked around and there was some hughe (by my guess) 72" LG TV which had awsome quality picture and not far from it was the 32" sammy but yet again the picture to me just did'nt look right.
I got talking to someone who actuatly knew what he was talking about and got talking about its feature and what i was planning to use it for and he droped the price from £799 to £749 which was the online offer price with free delivery.
Off i trundle to a shop named "PC" another another name for "Earth" (as in the planet
To my delight they had a 32" and a 26" side by side hooked up to there PC's so i had a fiddle around with the 26" and i must admit the picture was damn nice at a 3 to 4 foot distance but up close you could slightly see the pixels of the icons (i think it maybe was'nt set up right) anyways some young chap came over and asked did i want any help so I asked about feature and does it have Freeview (i knew it did due to the DVB letter ont he bottom left of screen) and he said "yeh thats it down there" (which he pointed to the PC which it was connected to, so... I said do you know what freeview is "errr yeah" was his reply hehehe, he then goes on to say it does not have freeview.
Basicaly the price of the 26" screen was £999.99
LOL but when bought with a PC it would cost your £650, god knows how much the PC was but it was bount to be overpriced aswell
Off i trundle to the car to make the next and last stop to a shop named after something similar to a Metiore only its made of Ice and Gas
Now this was far more impressive than the previous shops as it was a lot bigger and a lot more screens to look at, I found the 32" sammy sitting in the front row with a HD feed being played on it and it did look very nice but it did look a lot darker than the LCD's either side of it now and again.
Second row in was the 26" sammy which Noel Edmonds on the TV being feed with an Aerial connection and the picture really looked nice compared to the previous shops but it still looked abit funny in places now and then but was very sharpe say when it had a close up of someones face.
I went walkies aroudn this shop after getting a price match for the first shop of £749 store pick up but £22 delivery
and what do i see............. ooooo Xbox 360 white control pad sticking out... omg another one... OMG Xbox360 with CoD2 on a 26" sammy weeeeee time to play hehehe.
After going throught the demo disk with things like Need For Speed, Ghost Recon, and a few other things i was pretty impressed with the sharpness of things but CoD2 had a lot of jaggy edges which was very very very noticeable even when it was playing on HD feed.
Conculsion
Now im both very impressed and disapointed as im still not sure how good its going to be for what i want it to do (TV - FreeView, PC , DVD , Possible Xbox 360). Im still very interested in getting a new all purpose screen for this room but im having my douts
