Hi All,
Our old 24inch Phillips TV has finally given up the ghost so a replacement has got to be found.
We have looked at most of the available LCD 28inc + flat screens in the various big name stores and small independents but we are getting a lot of conflicting infomation and opinions.
Our main requirement is for the set to be able to handle movement adequately so that sports broadcasts can be enjoyed without any apparent lag.
However, some LCDs are not too great on this and opinion seems divided on whether the current generation of LCDs can match CRT on this aspect.
This worry has led us to look at HD CRT sets as a suitable alternative to LCD.
However, the Samsung HD CRT doesn't get a particularly good write up either.
Has anyone any opinions or recommendations to offer on the best way to go ?
Another little worry that has come to light during the search is what happens when you watch a standard screen programme on a widescreen TV ?
Is it possible to upscale the picture so it fits the screen without side banding on most sets available as two black side bands would drive us mad !
All the best,
Kristian.
