Hi All,
I'm planning to get an LCD TV soon (HD Ready).
Was thinking of getting the Samsung LE40R74BDX until I saw it demo'd in a shop yesterday. They had a whole row of TV's connected to a (single ?) HDMI source. It was playing the usual demo disks and a bit of football (which looked awful).
There was definate "blockiness" in the dark areas of the screen which didn't show up on a few of the other TV's (most were plasmas). It didn't look as sharp as most of the other TVs, there was a graininess to it all.
The assistant turned the brightness down and it looked a bit better, but I still have doubts....
The TV will mainly be used for watching Sky+ (not HD yet) and playing Xbox360 (HD via component cables until I can get a HDMI cable for it).
I like the idea of it having a PC input on the TV and doing picture in picture.
Sound from the TV is not that important as I'll be connecting everything to my Yamaha surround sound system.
So, would you recommend the:
Samsung LE40R74BDX £1150 (approx)
or should I spend the extra and get a:
Sony KDL-40V2000U £1500 (approx)
or something else ?
Cheers
