TV for 360 HD

Saint · 5 Nov 2007 at 19:18

Hi guys,

I'm looking to get a 32" HD TV for my 360 that's decent and not pricey.

Can anyone recommend me any brands/models that i should take a look at?

LG as a brand, can't recommend them enough.

Samsungs seem decent for 360.

The Samsung range is very nice.
I have a Sony Bravia myself.

Only get a samsung if the dynamic dimming feature doesn't annoy you.

<3 my LG. No overscan on any of my consoles

Am I the only one to be quite unhappy with an LG. Nevermind, only cost me £300.

Like kreee, i'd definetly reccomend the LGs, good gaming screens

EDIT: They arent great for enjoying movies though and black levels are not as good as some toshibas and sonys i've tried, but gaming wise they fit the bill. No overscan on VGA and HDMI, 1:1 pixel mapping when running the 360 in the associated resolution, ie, 1360x768.

I'd echo the LG sentiments.

Great value for money.

If your on a budget mate and want to go the cheep route then you should have a look at the Hanspree 32" or if you have the money get a samsung.

My 37LC3R is fantastic, far better than the 40" samsung equivalents at the time.

The blacks are good but not the best out there although the black depth is great (can see details in the dark scenes well rather than have them all "crushed").

I have the 26LC2R, got it on the cheap so can't complain really.

Cannaton · 5 Nov 2007 at 19:37

what aspects of the display aren't you happy about? I have the 32LC2DB, my main gripe is black levels but with the contrast at 90 and brightness at 42, its not bad. For movies i set contrast to 72 and brightness to 45.

Just general quality isnt up to much, a lot of jaggies on the PS3

Compared to a few sets its really poor.

My PS3 looks fantastic through it. It should look better than most sets (WRT jaggies) because there's no overscan.

You can turn off dynamic dimming in the service menu. Not quite sure how to get to it but if you google for it you'll find it.

Yeah but the screen is designed with it in mind and I couldn't get on with the screen with it off.

I have the 27LC2R and have no complaints. Was surprised at the quality of the sound through it's speakers. Only cost me £255.

Sony 26T3000, got one recently for £430 and it's an excellent screen

As far as 32" screens go, your have to look hard to beat a Panasonic TX32LXD70. Maybe a bit pricey though.

32" Sony Braiva D3000 very very nice on the 360, I compared it to the TX32LXD70 and the Samsung for colour and picture quality wins by far. I paid £700 few months back.
