HD - detail like you've never seen before

High Definition is the greatest advancement in television technology since black and white changed to colour.

A TV bearing the 'HD Ready' logo has the ability to display High Definition broadcasts of 720 or 1080 lines, as opposed to 'standard' broadcasts of 625 lines. The detail HD delivers is staggering. A HD screen contains more pixels which allows you to see every blade of grass, every thread, every feather in crystal clear clarity.

Well it looks good in the picture, and the spec is pretty reasonable...

Perhaps you could Tippex out the Tevion badge?

I'm so glad that black is back. Thank you iPod Nano and Sony PSP :clap:

Teco TL4091RW 40" LCD HD TV TL4091RW 1366x768 1200:1 500cd/m2 8ms http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131024

£512.73

The customer reviews look reasonable - another cheap option...?

Mind you, having just spotted the EUR in the 569 price of the Aldi one, that does come in at a very cheap price.

That would be good, but it's pound notes not Euros, just checked the link.

An even better tip

Don't buy any HD TV unless you have a HD sours or its like watching tough a net curtain

I notice ther are a lot of DVD players and freeview boxes with up scalers built in to help this problem but you are still not getting full HD. and it dosnt help if the freeview reciver is already built into the TV.

We got a 32"Samsung LCD, it went back the next day. I'm sticking with the big old CRT.

I'm actually very happy with the 32" [cheap] Goodmans 1080i/720p unit I've got here. It replaced a 28" CRT and the difference is substantial.

It's driven by a diskless frontend over DVI>HDMI at 720p/50hz native resolution. Upscaling of SD Freeview [DVB-T] and some SD satellite channels, as well as DVDs, is taken care of by MythTV, and the BBC HD output from DVB-S is quite incredible. Deinterlacing in hardware using the Bob(2x) type deint.

Black and shiny, no dead pixles, fast enough response, bright enough for daytime viewing, and black isn't far off black.

1080i is just a horrible invention though.

I'm happy.
