Having got the €399 Technosonic thanks to Jarvis I'm not in the market myself, but thought others might be interested....

godtabh

it only says its resloution is 1080i in the specs but 1080p in the blurb.

I wonder which one it is?

lynchie

Cant be 1080p as its res is only 1366x768.. needs to be 1920x1080 to be 1080p

Thanks catona

This is not 1080p, nor will it accept a 1080p feed.

Popeleo

Yeah, it's a cock-up. They must have mixed up the description with the 47" Tv also on sale that day which will display 1080p.

cast_iron

Nobody will notice the difference between 1080p and 1080i on this size tv - because there is none.

higster

Anyone get one (or the 47")?

Hmm, i didnt know that, but anyone getting the tv with little or no knowledge when would that hinder them later on?

Not really. Other than games consoles and v expensive HD-DVD & Blu-Ray players there wont be many 1080p sources.

720 and 1080i would do most people over the life time of their tv I would say

spockety

HD-DVD and BluRay will not be expensive for long.

It won't be long before you won't be able to buy a DVD player that is not HD or BluRay.

Assuming the lifetime of your TV is gonna be about 5 years, then on large panels, 1080p is worth getting or waiting for.

They said the same thing about vcr when dvd came out and its only in the last couple of years that they have stopped making vcrs.

1080p is defo worth getting in panels bigger than 42'' but on a 32' you wont notice it.

Exactly.

Lots of these on the shelves in two aldis I've been in the last few days...not eally that much of a bargain, or so it would seem.

Scruff

same price as the 32" lcd they sold about 6 months ago. only difference is that this one has 2 hdmi sockets. Not near the bargin it was back then.
