I was responding to a 5 and a half year old comment. Is that allowed, oh holy one? Are opinions and scientific principles no longer valid after some magical 7 year period? Perhaps you should delete half the internet (and all the books). Why on earth are *you* responding to a 7 year old thread...

ASSUMING you're using THX or Professional Mode on sensible settings and you've disabled every bit of extra processing including Intelligent Frame Creation in Professional Mode (IFC - found in the "set-up" menu rather than "picture" settings)... ...Then from personal experience I can almost...

What's wrong with striving for perfection? Take a leaf from the Ancients and use the Fibonnaci sequence to achieve the Golden Ratio for AV heaven: 8ft ceiling x 13ft width x 21ft length

Not 'Arf! Turns out it was faulty, as soon after my post, it locked in Demo mode and the picture went lime green :-@ I owe a HUGE THANK YOU to John Clayton from Richer Sounds for expediting the returns process and making my Christmas! It's this kind of excellent customer service that ensures...

After 3 months, my LG 42PQ6000 still doesn't do black - just charcoal grey, even with all the gizmos turned off or low and brightness/contrast at ZERO!! I'm wondering if mine is faulty because I'm not sure if you can return a TV just because you think it's a bit rubbish. COULD SOMEONE ELSE...

As the Ultra Thin Hitachi LCD monitor can now be had for less than the above-mentioned Panasonic and equivalent LCD or Plasma 5 star models, is it worth considering on picture performance alone (for upscaled SD Freeview via HDMI & DVD, poss HD & Blu-ray later?) I know you only gave it 3 stars...

B 160Gb Mista Loewe-Loewe... Hmmm-Hmmm

A Harlem Come to Poppa!

Nope- just that cheap optical outputs sound soft and congested anyway, and the ones on my Sky boxes are particularly awful. This is compounded by the compression used, making a few channels unbearable even now, as if my speakers' drivers have been kicked in... It just so happens that the...

Unless you need it for digital surround, I would think twice before splashing out on an optical lead before auditioning one from a local hi-fi shop. I tried several optical leads from my Sky+ box into a Meridian digital stereo and they all sounded soft and congested with flabby bass compared to...

Andrew, It's not the number of HD channels, it's the paucity of actual HD programming on them, this will take years to change. Hell- they were forcing widecreen down our throats for donkeys and now it's impossible to buy anything else, yet today some SD Sky digital channels still show...
