Anyone with the Toshiba x3030 series or Samsung M87/86 LCDs
I am on the verge of purcahsing a new HDTV and having pushed my budget up and up (!) I am now looking towards either a Toshiba X3030 series (37" or 42") or Samsung M87 series (37" or 40").
I am using it predominantly with PC connection (DVI to HDMI) which will handle HD, upscaling DVDs and media files, and day to day TV watching through SD Analogue (live in Bath, Freeview not possible!) Anyone have any thoughts or own a similar set up? |

Re: Anyone with the Toshiba x3030 series or Samsung M87/86 LCDs
I would be sure to look at reviews of DVI-HDMI connections for the TVs you're looking at. Some models have issues as the HDMI port was not designed to be a PC connection.
Also check that they are capable of 1:1 pixel mapping. |

Well went ahead and ordered it (crazy good deal from Currys online, £757 incl. delivery + additional £25 cash back from Quidco!)
Really quite excited about it, should be here in 2 weeks, will post thoughts when it's here and any issues. Cheers G |

The 37x3030d is awesome and has 1 to 1 pixel matching for HD input over hdmi. I have had no ghosting or banding issues with mine. Awesome tv
