Hello all,
Basically, I need educating on TV's. In the January sales I plan to purchase a new TV for my room.
The main uses will be for watching terrestrial TV (maybe freeview at a later date), Xbox 360 and DVD's.
Now, at the minute I have a 21" Phillips TV and Video combi which is fine for general TV viewing so anything flat screen is going to be a huge improvement. I want the best value for money, and I want HD for the 360 and therefore be futureproof for the foreseeable future.
At present I'm playing my 360 through my 17" monitor via VGA, so the res is at 1280. I'd like to put the 360 through to the new TV, so at least this res and in HD is important. Does the sound come through the speakers on the TV if you connect it to play through Hi-Def?
That's the background, so what specs AT LEAST should I be looking for at a TV to suit my needs? As I will probably be purchasing on the high street, I won't have chance to come on the forums and ask for everyones opinion. Or if I do buy online I'd need to get in there thick and fast to get my hands on a good deal.
Cheers...
