Need Some Advice On An Lcd Tv
« on: May 17, 2006, 01:45:00 AM »

Sorry for posting a "help me" thread, but i did some searches, and couldn't quite find an answer that helped me.

I'm looking to buy a 26/27 inch lcd tv, and as i am a student with only a summer job, it needs to be as cheap as possible.

Must have-

VGA
Componenent
Scart x 2
Composite
Freeview decoder


I am in he UK, which explains the freeview and scart. I would hook up my 360 to component, gamecube and dvd player with scart, pc (switched with a normal monitor via an external switchbox) with vga and leave the composite free for any quick needs (eg. tv out on a handheld or something).
I would also prefer a third scart for an xbox i am currently attempting to mod, but i could always use composite to hook this up (it is only being used for emulators)

Audio is not a problem, i will use a seperate amp for all inputs.

Connections are key, i need as many as possible (so more than one component, 1 vga, 3 scart would be preferable, but otherwise, i have put the miniumum above).
HDMI would be good, and would likely swing me if two sets are similar otherwise, but not completely necessary.

Price (as i have said) is an issue for me, so would need to be under £600 or so, so i guess that's around $800 in US (tvs seem to be cheaper with you lot:P)

I've looked at a few samsungs, and this one has caught my eye (it's pretty cheap too), but it doesn't have HDMI, it used DVI instead, and doesn't use HDCP.

Basicaly, any ideas? It would be great if i could get some suggestions, and personal experiences.
