Best place to buy a Hi-Def TV?

[Winston001]

You've already got built in speaker cable. Just disconnect the power points you dont want and plug you speakers into them. Really freak every one out by using a 3 pin plug to!

Seriously, if you got some 2 or 3 core power cable it'll do the job fine.

Hang about? What about all the busy electrons Contact keep sending down the line? Wouldn't they mess with the speakers??


Seriously though, good idea but in my house, the more live power sockets the better. I can't think of any to disconnect. I assume you are talking about only removing the phase wire from the switch?

Thanks all for the advise.

I ended up with a 46" LCD full hi-def 100mhz Samsung.

I was shocked when I say how jittery the 50mhz Sony's were by comparison. (I wanted the Sony for the $99 PS3 - but in the end Id rather pay more and have the better image)

I was going to get a plasma as many here had recommended, but I could only get 42" (too small) or 50" way too big - this isn't our theatre setup so doesn't need to be too big.

Had mysky HDI installed this afternoon.

While I was there I treated myself to a Blu-ray player for the downstairs theatre room and a couple of additional speakers for 7.1.

All in all - I'm in geek heaven - off to buy more horrendiously overpriced speaker cable this weekend.

If its a 6 series they suggest turning the motion blah blah blah down to low.

Good choice! For me it was a toss up between the Samsung A650 and Sony Bravia W - it was the PS3 integration and freeview that tipped me towards the Sony in the end but if I didn't care about those I would've gone Samsung too. Nice! But be prepared to turn your nose up in disgust now when having to endure standard definition viewing from now on At least mySkyHD takes a lot of the pain away.

Some good stuff here,can someone explain the difference between "HD ready" and full HD?

Full HD and Blueray is 1080 vertical resolution (1920×1080)
HD is 720 (1280×720)
DVD is 576

Just taking delivery of a new HD Plasma (better than LCD ), Blue Ray player and home theatre system. Ordered MySkyHD today as well. Install on the 17th? Dick heads!

Now all I gotta do is get all this shit working... properly. Things have changed a bit since the old wireless.

JBhifi provided by far the best service although they didn't have any of the stuff I wanted.
