How about adding a minimum or recommended pc spec to this section for viewing HDTV?

An e mail request to Philips to determine if my TV was HD ready advised me to
press 123654 on the remote to see what the software was

If it was 2.0 or above it is HD ready

If below 2 it is not.

Done this on both tvs-there appears 8 different lines but none specific to identify spft ware or the number 2

Anyone outhere know what I should be looking fort.

Hi folks i'm looking at two lcd's both Sony KDL46w2000 and KDL46x2000. Been told at the sony shop that the 'W' is better than the 'X'. I'm concerned they are trying to get rid of old stock to make room for the 'X'. I think there is a £600 difference the 'X' being the more expensive. Any ideas?
