So I invited him to look at my Panasonic 32" screen, to me the picture was fine and sharp to him blurred, why.

He does wear glasses but looking at a photo all is sharp but LCD blurred.

Any Ideas?? ]]> LCD Televisions DOLGOCH http://www.avforums.com/forums/lcd-televisions/1129981-blurred-picture.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/lcd-televisions/1129972-toshiba-regza-42av635db.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:37:52 GMT Hi

I'm looking into buying a new TV for around £400 and have found this TV on Amazon for £450, which I don't mind paying for a 42" television. Basically, I'm just looking for some feedback on whether this is a good TV for the price or should I be looking at something else for a similar price?

The TV is going to be used for all of the usual stuff really such as watching DVD's (upscaled of course via my PlayStation 3, and I might be getting a standalone 1080p DVD upscaler for my non-region 2 DVD's). I will also be watching Blu-Rays, playing PS3 games and from time to time I may try and hook my PC up to it if I'm watching a HD-DVD (because my 360 broke so I now use the 360 HD drive with my PC).

Thanks for your help. ]]> LCD Televisions d3moliti0n http://www.avforums.com/forums/lcd-televisions/1129972-toshiba-regza-42av635db.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/lcd-televisions/1129928-lcd-tv-pc-monitor.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:28:18 GMT Hi

This is my first post here I wonder if you could help. I am looking to get a 32" LCD TV 1080p to use as a PC monitor for playing games and watching films I wonder if anybody has done this and which one to go for.

My budget is £400 ish

Hopefully it performs as well as it looks.

Any thoughts?

Also, if the money was available is it worth paying the extra to go for the UE32B7020?

Thanks

I wonder if anybody can help. I had to take my LCD to an authorised Samsung repair centre recently and was told that the unit requires a New Main PCB the part Number is BN94-01001H. However I have found this part on ebay and was hoping that this is the part that I need.

I bought a LG 47LH5000 1080p LCD 2 weeks ago.

I went to Curry's on the basis of buying a plasma as i wanted good motion, good SD quality etc etc

The sales guy said they had a special on the LG tv and as it had Trumotion 200hz it was even better than plasma.

I got the Tv home , wall mounted it and found that motion wasnt brilliant. I have tried all the settings , trumotion OFF, Low and High and its the same.

I have a bluray player connected to it (LG BD370) which is supposed to be good and playing a bluray whether on 24fps or 50fps it judders slightly on most parts.

I have tried the bluray player and that disk on my mates plasma and there is No Judder at all.

Ive read tons of review on it and they all say the same "The trumotion isnt very efective"

My question is.......


Would i be within my rights to return it for a refund or to buy a plasma instead, as i feel i have been missold it as my main concern of LCD was motion blur.

I'm need some advice. I have been asked to find a lcd fireplace that has to fit into a blocked up fireplace and look classy for an office setting.
any suggestions on whereabouts i would find such a thing and is there a company that specifically fit them?
I dont want to just put a LCD TV in a fireplace with a DVD on loop since that would look obvious and tacky


any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

thanks

I'm in the market for my first LCD TV, and had almost decided on Sony KDL32(or37)W5500. However I've noticed a few worrying comments about poor standard definition quality. At the moment 90% of my viewing will be std def but I need to plan to eventually view more high def. Does anyone have any views or experience of poor std def pictures on (5 star!!) Sony LCD TV's. I'm now really confused, surely What Hi-fi would have mentioned it in their review?!

Right now I'm using a Samsung 226BW via VGA cable to play. The picture is great but I would like to go bigger and look for a 24" Monitor. The T240 seems to be a good choice but the question I have is, wheather the graphics quality is better via VGA with a max. resolution of 720p to choose from the xbox or component cable where I can set the xbox to 1080p. ]]> LCD Televisions maph http://www.avforums.com/forums/lcd-televisions/1129647-24-monitor-xbox-360-a.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/lcd-televisions/1129641-can-rough-handling-delivery-increase-mura-clouding.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:11:48 GMT I just took delivery of a new Toshiba 52" LCD. I was shocked when the delivery guy just dragged the carton out of the van and along the driveway to the door.
The picture is generally pretty good but it does have what I think is a significant clouding effect. I know most LCD's suffer from this but I was wondering whether the rough handling could have made this worse. ]]> LCD Televisions Davestan http://www.avforums.com/forums/lcd-televisions/1129641-can-rough-handling-delivery-increase-mura-clouding.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/lcd-televisions/1129596-37-evesham-alqemi-sx-lcd-bruising-dark-patch.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:26:09 GMT Our LCD TV got knocked off its stand a few days ago when I was trying to move it to clean behind it.

Our LCD TV got knocked off its stand a few days ago when I was trying to move it to clean behind it. I half caught it, but one corner hit the floor quite hard. :facepalm:

The TV still works, but now has this dark patch/bruise on it:

Is this fixable or is it new TV time? If it can't be fixed, I'll have to put up with it, can't afford a new one at the moment. :(

To be fair, during normal watching, it's not that noticeable, only on light screens. The grey screen above, when it's between inputs, is when it's most noticeable. It also seems to diminish when the TV's been on for a while - the pic above is about as good as it gets though, it's quite a bit bigger when the set is cold.

I have a 42" toshiba tv with a fault, sitting watching tele one day and all was fine then the next thing was the tv went black like it was turned of but still had sound, Led light on green, no menu, no picture just sound, i could turn the sound up and down with the buttons on side of tv and change the channel, but couldnt see what i was doing, taken to local tv repairer and was reported to have faulty backlight inverters, having a master and slave, insurance company wrote the tv off but allowed me to do as i please with it, so im trying to get as much info to fix myself, i have since replaced the inverter boards (Boards that wasnt available for repair) and as made no difference, so now im at a lose to what to do next, i have no idea on how to test the parts, so im just buying parts, but what part do i buy next, im guessing that having replaced the inverter boards im guessing i should go for the power supply board.


The inverter boards are so call not available from Toshiba reason for the write-off.

Master VIT70023.80
Slave VIT70023.81

Tv had no previous problems with the picture before it went dark ]]> LCD Televisions nick2478 http://www.avforums.com/forums/lcd-televisions/1129559-toshiba-42x3030db-faulty-screen.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/lcd-televisions/1129517-sony-w3100-firmware-update.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:35:45 GMT Is there any, and does any one know/or has done 1 before??
