I was just loitering in the local comet as I've been thinking for a while of getting a new LCD TV. Narrowed the choices down to either the Philips or soon to be released JVC (with a slight preference for the JVC as it's not as wide).
While in currys the credits at the end of the programme arrived, they zoomed along the bottom of the screen and I'm not exagerating when I say that on every single LCD TV they were unwatchable, smearing into an indeciferable mush. However on the rows of £100 - £300 CRTs they were fine.
Now if I'd just blown £1k or more on the latest LCD TV I'd be pretty annoyed with performance so bad.
All the TVs were in-sync so they must have all had an analogue RF feed (no freeview). The aerial signal was obviously pretty poor judging by the picture quality.
I've noticed before that rolling credits is a quick indication as to how sluggish a plasma/LCD TV/Projector is but thought that the latest generation would be better (Comet had the 23" Philips and the 26" JVC - and they were as bad as the rest).
If I do go for a LCD TV can anyone reassure me that with a better aerial signal the quality will improve or is this simply a failing of the current technology?
