I myself am very Philips-minded (I grew up in Philips' hometown, my father's been working for them for 40 years, and now I myself am working as a contractor for them ;) ) but the Samsung TV's are also nice.

Major thing I'm missing on that page though is the resolution. I assume 720P at that price?

thats there home page for it

how do u get to know what it is 720 1080i ?

[Curry]

Resolution: 1366(H) x 768(V)
That means it's 720p :)

720p is a progressive-scan screen of 1280x720 pixels, which is either slightly stretched or letterboxed to fit this resolution. 1080i is interlaced 1920x1080, whereas 1080p is 1920x1080 progressive. See Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p) for more info.

Telly specs look damn nice for the price. I myself will be going for a 42" Philips set in a few months with full 1080p, 6ms response, Aptura/ClearLCD tech etc., but that will set me back around 3000 euro, so I guess this Samsung would be a good buy for the 1400 quid :)

ok i think i have found the lcd Curry was on about it just sort of £4000.00 pounds so taking that in mind i think 2000.00 is my limit i think.

and curry do u print money or something cause that a lot of cash _o_

I'm actually waiting for the 42PF9831D, the successor to the one you found, to be released in June or July. And no I don't print money I just have a 'good job' :Y)

Xbox 360 internally renders at 720p and is capable of upscaling to 1080i if required. So for the 360 it doesn't matter too much whether you get a 720p or 1080i/p television, but for the HD/DVD expansion it will.

Philips started to focus on design and ubertechnology a few years back, and yes it shows. But you better bring some dough :P

Check announcement and pics for the one I want here (http://www.ces.philips.com/products/home_entertainment1.html) btw.

For myself I have a Samsung LE32R51, what is an awesome television for his price. It only has 720p, but my opinion is that 720p is the best resolution to play at :)

OK, I was browsing Argos (pretty big electronics retailer in the UK) and found this:

I have no idea what it is like, can it show 720p? and is the resolutions any good?

I know there was an HDTV thread somewhere that was big, but I couldn't find it, so I used this one.
