The xtravision site lists HDMI Connection as a feature, whereas komplett doesnt. So Id say it is HD Ready.

For the likes of SkyHD, it's believed that you will need your HDTV to have a HDMI slot with HDCP (encryption used)

Yet, on Xtravision website it says "HD Ready" and "HDMI Connection"

If it can do HDCP over DVI...then it can be called HD Ready i think.

looks like a nice tv

Hyzepher · 14-05-2006 02:21PM

Definately HD Ready - the DVI can do HDCP.

There will be a HDMI connection on this model at some time - its quite possible XV have it already - I'll be going in to have a look over the next day or so - they have told me the Baggot st branch have one on display

dont forget to buy this package with your pigsback.com voucher and then you'll also get a phillips dvd player thrown into the deal for the same €999

TempestSabre · 15-05-2006 02:32PM

Anyone actually seen this TV in action. What did you think of the Picture Quality?

HungryJoey · 15-05-2006 07:28PM

Think I might pick one up, Im boggled what to get on my budget. So if I get this will it have HDMI input and inputs for the 360, If so Ill be happy.

Also whats this thing about a free dvd player with the pigsback.com vouchers ? Could I claim this also if I register on pigs back ?

What is the overall quality of these screens, I dont wanna buy something ****e!

Thanks,

Hj

I was thinking of getting it myself for my 360 and for when the PlayStation3 comes out. I was going to get a 26" HD ready TV in Currys for €799 but I might stretch to this instead.

BFassassin · 15-05-2006 08:10PM

anyone seen it in action yet. or has anyone taken the plung and got one:D

TempestSabre · 15-05-2006 09:46PM

Was looking at LOTR menu screen on it today. There was no one around to get the film actually going on it. I'll have another look tomorrow. Was in a rush today. First impression was that it wasn't as sharp as thr Sony & Philips in store. (Xtravision Baggot Street). Hard to know what kinda quality the signal was though.

HungryJoey · 15-05-2006 10:05PM

Looks like ill pick one up then next week providing on they have them in stock, In blanch anyway, If I have to Ill ring up all other stores aswel see where I can get hold of one.

What do you think the odds of there being some left by end of next week ? Offer ends 31'st may. Ill be buying around the 26th. If I have to ill travel around to get one.

Also, just printed out my Pigs back voucher to get me free Philips DVD player

Im still waiting on a definete model of this TV before i Buy. I really want HDMI.

Hj

BFassassin · 16-05-2006 08:15AM

did you try contacting xtravision directly to see about the model number.

Soarer · 16-05-2006 09:30AM

Had written a big spiel written for this, but when I submitted, it gave me an error, and lost what I'd written!:mad:
I'm not in the mood for typing it all out again, but here's a jpg of the specs. Someone more learned might be along in a while to confirm if it's a good set or not!

daithi01 · 16-05-2006 11:49AM

I saw an advertisement saying that it can be ordered at any Xtravision store. Whether that's for collection or delivery, it didn't say. I might pick up one in two weeks time after my exams. Is there limited availability though or what? Where did you see the part about the offer ending on the 31st?

Here's it on their site: http://www.xtravision.ie/xvElectrical.asp?id=345

BFassassin · 16-05-2006 04:57PM

HungryJoey · 16-05-2006 05:25PM

Oh man that 5 per store sucks, Also Delivery only ?! Jeeez I'm really disapointed. Was going to pick one up.

Hj

Hyzepher · 16-05-2006 11:33PM

Model is A321

Time Magazine · 16-05-2006 11:42PM

Xtra-vision have sold out of their first batch, I suppose that's a good sign?

There will be a new batch delivered on Friday week so any store will take your deposit. The five per store thing is a tad misleading. There are over 200 Xtra-visions in the country; so that's 1000 TV's. You're talking about one million euro there. They won't sell out; if your local big store have sold five and the small neighbour have sold three, they'll transfer it for you.

I don't think it's delivery only. Delivery costs E25. A chap ordered one in our store the other day and we got one transfered from another branch in the our delivery; we wouldn't do that if it was delivery only.

HungryJoey · 17-05-2006 08:18AM

How much would they be looking for in a deposit ? And if they aren't coming in until next friday, Thats a good thing. Im not looking to buy till next friday

Hj

Lemlin · 17-05-2006 10:06AM

Anyone know how much the deposit is?

Lemlin · 17-05-2006 02:38PM

I took the plunge and ordered one in Cavan this morning. The manager in there told my mate (who I got to put down the deposit) that the company only have 500. Once those are sold, the offer is over.

He said its a special deal they got with Hyundai because Hyundai wanted an exclusive deal to sell their TVs in Xtravision and this is the deal Xtravision got in return (or something along those lines).

Now that could be just marketing bull but he said it after my mate had put the deposit down so he'd have no need to try and sell one to someone who's already bought the product. Thought I'd give yas the heads up anyway.

By the way, the model is the A321 and deposits are €100. When you put the deposit down, the store order you the TV. I was told mine should be in next Friday.

BFassassin · 17-05-2006 03:07PM

friday the 19th or the one after

jeromeof · 17-05-2006 03:34PM

Word of warning guys. While it is definitely a bargain, it only has a DVI-HDCP interface. Sky Digital HD (which is basically the first HD service available) requires a HDMI interface. Now it is possible to get a DVI to HDMI connection most of these adapters don't pass on the security/copyright (i.e. HDCP) and according to rumours the Sky HD will simply "down-scale" to SD (standard definition) from HD if it does not find an acceptable connection, so it may not display HD content from Sky HD.

Other than that it looks like a real bargain.

Cheers for the heads up but I'm not really interested in Sky anyway. Don't have it in Cavan where I'll be putting the TV and don't plan to get it. Strandard definition will do if I ever decide to though.

I mainly want it for my 360 (and hopefully PS3 in the future) and watching DVDs.
