Look forward to seeing your 360 on it, you gonna run your z5000's to it as the speakers are poo on the tv. Is this to go next to your 20 inch dell

SAMSUNG | LG | DELL | LG

Will be arranged like that ^^

and yea my Z5500 run my 360 via optical, and PC via COAX.

not worried about my Sky+ being 5.1 however so will run that through TV

 

[McDaniel]

sounds good Maxi, about 20 hours to late though - the banding issues and 180page thread on avfurms put me off lol

 

[McDaniel]

My rent is whopping £120 a month

I be lucky

 

[McDaniel]

its primary use will be 360, with a bit of sky usage - i download most of my tv - soagain the 360 will stream HD content aswell.

I went bigger because the last tv i got was 5/6 years ago; its not something i change often - so more of an investment - forwhen i do move out.

Im not gonna notice the difference between 720/1080 i feel cos im relatively close to the screen so decided to reduce the cost and avoid the 1080p for now (shame the toshiba has issues or i would got best of both worlds)

 

[McDaniel]

my one does 1080i?

I almost went for the F series, couldnt afford another £400

 

[McDaniel]

McD, mind adding me to MSN? I'd love to bug you with questions once you get your set

add away

/edit - gonna go bed in a sec tho

 

[McDaniel]

Your probably looking for £4-500 a 26" HD Screen

Either a Sammy or LG - not looked into the 26" models to much myself mate, should give you a nice starting point though

 

[McDaniel]

Thanks, I'll do a bit of research.

I guess I'll be able to get better deals online rather than in the shops?

the one i just got was £400 cheaper then in shops

 

[McDaniel]

Delivery man just rung, he'll be ehre about 30 minutes now

 

[McDaniel]

I bet they dont turn up..

mwahahaha

 

[McDaniel]

Very smart McDaniel.

So what are your first impressions ?

So pretty

The only problem ive noticed is that Sky is "crackling" but only on certain channels - not sure what thats aboutl also trying to work out how to get audio from Sky in PIP mode when i have the Xbox via VGA.

Ran the 360 via VGA + Component, both look absoloutely excellent, think i prefer the "washy" effect VGA gives over Component

Looks ace though, got a few more pics of the 360 setup but cba to post atm - still playing

 

[McDaniel]

I dont have much disposal income, i just juggle my debt

 

[McDaniel]

Im not sure why Sky+ is making a "Fuzz" noise, happens with lots of audio on the channel, or burst of loud audio - the Digital Tuner/Xbox everything else is fine, checked the connection and everything..

OT: Anyone know how to program a Sky remote to the TV and what the Samsung code is?

 

[McDaniel]

I think the gloss black looks great in a PC bedroom set up like yours. Just not so nice in a living room. I think you have the one I sent back

Its a dust MAGNET though, already pretty covered lol
