Dr 42%er?

Hello to you and I trust all is well?

I remember that you helped me out with a test in What Hi Fi many moons ago and wondered if youhad Januarys editition and if the test of the LG 32 LB75 LCD TV was a full test or a small one. I know they plan a 32` group test in the coming edition and I belive its tested again then but thought I would ask anway.

Trying to decide which one to buy between the LG or the Samsung LE32R87/88. Unless you think the Panasonic is worth an extra few hundred.

What it for TV and 360 use.

How is business anyway?

Cheers! :)

How do. I am not to bad thanks.

It was a half page review. Here it is.


I have not seen it but it is a good review.

All the ones you have mentioned will be fine with TV and 360. I think you will be happy with any of them.

You keeping well?

Nice one! Thanks for that.

Currys had it for £599 and Dixons £450 or something. Seems a good buy.

Im very well thank you, good to hear you are also.

I will see how it gets on on the grouptest on Thursday then buy one me thinks.

I trust the Van is still ok?

Cheers! :)

Splendid!

While I`m here, is a TV capable of taking 24fps 1080p important? I see the LG does even though its 768 (upscales or something does it?) or can all 768 sets do 24fps?

No they can`t. 24Hz input is only really useful if the set can display it without converting to 60Hz, which most can`t. Some top end Sonys do, and the Toshiba set I have is advertised as doing it, but I`m having my doubts at the moment. The TV will take the 1080p signal and down-scale it to near enough the native resolution of the set, but to be honest you might as well just set the output of your BD/HD DVD player to 720p. 1080p panels are nice because they have no overscan with 1080p sources.

On a related note, the general consensus over at the AVForums seem to be that LG aren`t the best brand to go for. I was considering one before I really looked into it, but was quickly put off. The Samsung might be a better bet.

Is that a general thing or specific to this model? The reviews all seem to be very good.

More of a general thing I guess. The brands that always seem to get good reviews and recommendations are Sony, Samsung and Toshiba.
