Panasonic VT20

Hi

Couple of questions on the above TV:

1. Is it possible to record HDTV onto a HDD via the USB port or do I need a special recorder for this?

2. I have tried using a Wii on this via a component connection and I'm not really impressed with the graphics. I am in THX mode which should avoid overscanning - is there anything else I could try or is this simply the best I will get from a Wii as graphics are not HDMI standard?

3. Is the 3D update for the current PS3 really true 3D quality or do we need to wait for an updated version of the console to obtain true 3D?

Thx

I use a standard external USB HD, 2.5", and it gets power from the USB port. Works fine with PVR.

The THX mode is generally a bit dark depending on the room you're in. I up the brightness to +8 using HDMI from my PS3. With the Wii, the quality is so low anyway, so not sure much can be improved there.

No, it's true 3D, like what you will see with movies. It works really well.

The Wii graphics are poor they look terrible when blown up to 120" through my PJ. HD football looks fantastic except when England play!!!

As far as I'm aware the current Firmware only allows for 3D Games but the update for true 3D movies will be coming soon
