cheers, drew

samsung 46 inch lcd 3 hdmi ports black piano finish looks the dogs bollock even when off 2300 euro

drewmcm

yeah ive been looking at that one but i think the response time is a wee bit slow.
at this moment thats the set ive been slobbering over.

ryker

yeah but for that price you can't go wrong will you be using it mainly for gaming

drewmcm

aye mainly for that but i wanna enjoy watchin 24 etc in hd. im worried that the response time will affect any fast movement on screen.

drewmcm

do you own one of those samsung tvs?

ryker

the more you spend the better the response time it's a balancing act, if you have a hd source going into the tv it will elimante this

ryker

yeah drewmcm i have one

drewmcm

hd source?

dc69

sky hd via hdmi,ps3 hdmi:)

ryker

yeah ps 3 and sky hd

drewmcm

ah yes.
wot da response time on da tv?
i think its around 8ms

drewmcm

i have a 22" samsung monitor for my pc with 2ms response & its the bollocks

dc69

one of my mates has ps3 and xbox 360 connected to a new r87 series samsung lcd,hes a freak about these thing and reckons its the business,basically all he does is play games.i doubt its got a responce time as good as the tv you are looking at,so i dont think you should woory about it

drewmcm

r87 sounds more advanced compared to m87?

ryker

the response time is 8ms the same as sonys kdl46w2000u which is about the norm

drewmcm

aye but the sony in my price bracket only has 2 hdmi unless you have an extra thousand

stand and DVD recorder included.

how many hdmi connections? the site doesnt say

drewmcm

a wee bit small as well!

Plasma for best picture quality & response time. movement not an issue on plasma.

for €2700(ish) you can get the new panasonic th-50py70 50" 1080p plasma.

screen burn is becoming a thing of the past on plasmas and it'll be great for gaming.

i have the hd ready version of this set and picture quality is outstanding. and for games (PS3, Wii) its excellent. its not burnt a bit.

:eek: its a 40 inch tv. i would call that big for the average living room

drewmcm

where did you buy yours?

drewmcm

i agree but i was hoping for between 42 & 50" with at least 3 hdmi. i spent too much time swapping the scarts for ps2 back in the day & dont wanna go down that road again.

did not buy yet but a mate working in a shop selling them said they were putting 10 on special, reduced from 2200 i think he said

2 hdmi is a no go

is this only if you are into gaming.

the new panasonic has 2 hdmi, 2 scart, component, vga, composite & SD card.

they have a better one again that has 3 hdmi & 3 scart and the other connections are the same. its a good bit more expensive though.. over 4k

one for €2700
