Gutted, I paid £30-odd 2 years back
That's a bargain price as RS have them still listed at £29.95 on their website !

I'm looking for some scarts too.Thanks for the advice - you mean like these ones - Thor Scart to Scart 1.5m: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo ?
I have an Xbox 360 and have a choice of VGA or HDMI. A friend of mine has said he uses VGA as it shows the blacks better on his TV (not an X10) has anyone compared the two on this TV?
Hi all,
So i've got a 42" X10 sitting waiting to be unboxed and set up. Can people suggest the best way to run the set in - what not to do and suggest alternatives to my planned set-up (that doesn't mean 'scrap' and buy something new.)
X10 ---> Scart ---> SKY ---> Scart ----> VCR
X10 ----> Component ---> Wii
I also have a Sony DAVDZ260 (DVD Player/Built In home cinema thing) which has HDMI - currently it is connected via Scart and sound travels from the TV to the system, which is quiet useful. Should I connect the HDMI cable? Will that make the picture worse? I imagine sound should work too...
Should I avoid the xbox? If so, how long for? Anything else to avoid? Brightness settings etc.
If i decide to play xbox, how long for to start with?
What about stands? Should I buy on basis of maximum weight - seems 42" stands are much more expensive.
Thanks in advance...
Try connecting with a hdmi cableAnyone advise on the DVD player and Stand/have any other suggestions?
If your dvd player has an HDMI output then presumably it upscales as well so that should definitely give a higher quality image than using a scart lead.Anyone advise on the DVD player and Stand/have any other suggestions?
Anyone?Cheers planetse jaymac and pete.tv connect to cinema via scart.when i had xbox on scart it just transfered the sound as i selected av1,naturally.
so what your saying is the component cabel set up is on a seperate loop and cannot output the sound through the connected scart to the hcinema?
unfortunately hcinema does not have optic socket.
obviously i can use aux red and white to jack and connect to the front of my hcinema using the audio in,but it looks a lash-up!
if i get a proper hdmi lead will i have the same problem as component?
the settings on audio seem quite limited to say the least which is dissappointing.
cheers
Anyone?
Hi Tapedeck - I'm a little confused as to what inputs your home cinema amp has - are you saying it has a scart? Can't you run the audio output terminals from the back of the TV to a spare phono input on the back of the AV amp rather than a mini jack on the front?Anyone?
I have the same TV with SD Sky via a modest SCART cable and can't say I've noticed any blurring - in fact I was pleasantly surprised at how good the picture is.Hello all,
Firstly, I am now the proud owner of the 37" X10 and I have to say, it's a brilliant television.
I have one niggling problem, though. Football and other fast-moving sports generally look poor. There is noticable blurring and the sharpness leaves much to be desired.
I'm running SD content into the television via a standard Sky digibox using a SCART cable.
Any thoughts on settings? How can I combat this? Will HD content make any difference?
I think this is down to the broadcast quality.Hello all,

You'll need an amp to drive the speakers so you'll be pushing it to get something for £100. I've just checked Richer Sounds and they have a Cambridge Audio amp for £70 and some Eltax book shelf speakers for £30 which would just come in on budget.Hi guys and girls, new to the forum but just purchased my very own 37x10 and love it, although the sound is not amazing so will be investing in some cheapish speakers and budget will not allow expensive ones, any got any recommendations for spending upto £100. many thanks.
oh and where is moniter setting???
Hi people.to clarify,i have a 360.where the cable comes out the back it has a box with 'tv' and 'hdtv' switch and a tiny socket that looks like the one that plugs into my cybershot camera-dont knnow what this is.
My amp has nought but one scart and the jacks on the front,its a built in all-in-one jobby but does have a HDMI and DMport.
Jaymac-i can get sound when i play through the scart but thats SD...if i take the component plugs out the adapter to get HD,i cannot plug it in.what do you mean?
I have AV1scart free now,audio in (red and white) on component Svid and red white yellow free on the side.Anyway i can do it?
No my xbox does not have HDMI out.
Cheers.

Nice one chaps,top marks.i was still using av2 to connect the home cinema,didnt think it would make any difference connecting to av1 instead.
Big respect for your help and patience(and for the record i know SD and HD sound are the damn same cheaky bugger!).
Just wording stuff correctly is hard.next time ill just take pics
Cheers
