I am everywhere...
After getting my Ps3 (thank you custom man and UPS for driving me crazy! :rolleyes: :p ) i noticed that my rear projection TV can only output on the ps3 at 480! I have never been so much bothered about the 480, 720, 1080i or P until now. While using the SDtv, it is pretty horrible to say the least....for the first two days i literally felt sick and my eyes ache from poor 480 display.

So today me and GF went into the store for a bit of window shopping then i saw that a competitior is doing an offer on all LCD and Plasmas so i decide to take the plunge....Within the next hour that we was out windon-shopping my hand just suddenly dipped into my pockets again and i paid for a Panasonic TH-42PX60B and had it delivered right away! (the sales man was so nice to me or perhaps he already ripped me off and throwed in a philips dvd player with HDMI upscaling :cool: )

After getting home and doing away with the sdtv, i finally set up the Panasonic plasma and flicked the ps3 on, after a few fiddling it finaly came to live in HD mode! (tv can hanfle 1080i) Gwad, it was a milion times better than the sdtv, the images are crisp, clear, vibrant, colourful and almost life-like. I played the GTHD again and it was even better than i expected. RFom looks good too and Ridge racer just feels like you can touch the cars on the screen - very impressive.

Overall, i will never ever go back and watch or play games on sdtv, it sucks and if you have a ps3 hooked on to a sdtv, please go get yourself a HDtv of some sort by all means necessary even if it means *mugging a gran ma or OAP














*not recommended and i belive you aint that stupid anyway. **Claim benefit instead!














**Seriously work hard and save up :p

how much, if any did you get tax on the PS3 import? did customs hit you or was it okay?

Theres a Goodmans 42inch LCD that does 1080p, can be had for around £1200 (maybe less, I haven't looked particularly hard :p)

I wouldnt touch a goodmans, Bush, and brand in those class...too dogy and dont last long from my experience.

You should try switching it to 720p. I've heard its better than 1080i

Is it? Im gonna give it a go and report back. Im not sure i can "pick" which resolution i want, the ps3 does the auto setting...anyway gonna have a look and let you know. Thanks.

I have tried the 720....I dont like it! I played F1 demo with it and it looks like the 1060i is better and colour more real....dunno. Going back to 1080i
