You don't really get many TV's with speaker sockets now I'm afraid. Usually just audio line outs, which this doesn't seem to have either. But if it has a headphone socket you can hook that up to a hi-fi. Either by using an adaptor http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...C=SO&U=strat15 and a set of phono cables, or just by a 3.5mm to phono cable http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-Connect.../dp/B0009V8W6O I just used those cables as examples, but there's better or cheaper ones out there, dependent on preference

If you were using a surrond system, this would let you get pro-logic, but not any form of digital surround.

It wouldn't give digital sound from TV shows, which is a pity. But if it's for PS3, or any other external source, you'd hook them directly to the surround system anyway

so what you reckon this tv a good buy for the price? no one can suggest a better one for similar price? any1 got any voucher codes =p

[dave87]

What was your budget?

This doesn't appear to be too bad a deal.

[Destroyer^]

tbh 320-340 unless i can get it on credit like scan do... does it make much difference if it has 2 hdmi ports? and dont think freeviews an issue as in eastbourne we cant get it =)

[dave87]

In that case, this is roughly in that figure, and is a decent TV.

About as good as the 32c3030/35 it replaced which got 5 stars from What HiFi Sound & Vision

Hey guys, sorry for the thread bump. Just wondering if Destroyer got that TV? Replacing my Hannspree 37" TV as it's a bit too big (I sit about 4 foot from the screen) and looking to get a 32", and seen the Vistron that was in the original post so thought I'd ask.

[Destroyer^]

Anyone know if this tv is 1080p? http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/stor...m=null&tm=null

And this TV worth it for my 360 elite?

[dave87]

Not 1080p, but a good TV none the less.

I'd have that over a no name brand anyday...

[Destroyer^]

Any other good hd tv deals? and would i notice much of a difference with this then a full 1080p hd tv?

for a 32" tv you wouldnt notice a great improvement really...unless you planning on hooking up a pc/laptop then having the greater res might be beneficial...otherwise imo 1080p is not noticeable on a tv less then 40" (some argue as high as 50" even)

True, but it all depends on how close you sit I think there can be differences at 40", but at 32" I wouldn't worry.

But if it's for use with a console it's not really worth worrying about anyway, as so few games run in native 1080p. Doesn't matter what they upscale to, if the pixels aren't there in the first place, it won't make a lot of difference!
