is this too good to be true?????????????????????????????

Yes, its not hd, and it's rear projection afaik.

It's around that price to buy in Power City if it's the model I think it is.

This TV is a HD Tv and has a HDMI input on it, I have my 360 hooked up to this TV and it is an excellent set. so what if its a rear projecteor (this one is actually a 3LCD rear projector) this is still quiet small at the back, unless your looking to hang a 50" on your wall and plus if you want a 50" plasma or LCD the it will cost you at least €5000+

Great viewing angle on this TV aswell I would defintley get this set and at the price listed BARGAIN!!

lol im a happy camper.

AFAIK the sony centre are about this price also, and with a stand..... better to buy local just in case something goes wrong... I have one of these for the record.... fantastic TV.

didnt think you could hook games consoles to rear projection tvs? i remember always getting those warning pamphlets with nes/snes games, but is it ok to do it with next gen consoles?

Lord Spence

This is a 3LCD rear projector and burn in does not occur, The Xbox 360 does have a screensaver feature however and it will protect from burn in images which actually mostly happenes on plasma Tvs

Good to know, thanks Spence

have this tv since April, excellent purchase, great value

Burn in can happen with this set and it has happened to a few people over at avforums.com . Just dont have brightness too high for first 30/40 hours of use. Try and avoid games like PGR where there is a constant thing in the same position on the screen.. speedometer etc

They all reccommend the tv though. My friend has one and the 360 looks great on it. And its not as deep as normal rear projection tv's.
