| Just got my Panasonic 28" 100HZ BEAST IT ROCKS - Plugged it in, type in some info - nice clean, crisp pic - good audio shocking how quickly it all just 'worked' (not seen a new TV in a home in ages!) Got my Sony DVD500 [or whatever it is DVD setup and 5.1Speakers/Sub to go in - should be rather tasty] |

| Yeah, TVs are sorted now. Barely worth reading the manual on most of them, it takes much longer than just plugging it in and letting it get on with it  .Do try switching the 100Hz mode on and off if it lets you, it may be better without (although I haven't been keeping up with TV technology that much, maybe the algorithms are better now than when I last checked). I've never found flicker to be a problem on PAL TVs, although 60Hz on a monitor hurts my eyes very quickly. Odd.

| Um....contrary to my earlier advice....read the manual  .Rich :¬) Edit: Glibness aside, it may not be possible to switch it on and off easily, I'm not familiar with the model. www.no2id.net www.saynoto0870.com www.housepricecrash.co.uk Now these points of data make a beautiful line, and we're out of beta we're releasing on time....

| inbuilt tv speakers are never *great*. they can be nice, but never *great*.. size of screen depends on the room size. my 28" widescreen looked good in my old living room, but a bit small in this one, hence why im considering an upgrade to a 42" rp beast hughlunnon@yahoo.com | I have sigs turned off.. |

| Good choice good choice Bower & Wilkins all the way!  All the RP tv's ive seen are poor, that goes for plasma's too, LCD's are not great too - tho they do seem to be getting better at a rate of knots. Get far better results not to mention a consderably bigger screen going for a £1500-£2000 projector IMHO. Butuz |

| actually, you can set up a rp well if you've a good viewing angle for your living room, which i do. specially with the lights out they are nearly as good for viewing as a crt, and the effect you get from over double the screen area is amazing... i agree that they normally look cr*p in shops but if you go into a specialist and get them to demo it to you they can really look amazing. hughlunnon@yahoo.com | I have sigs turned off.. |
