Is it possible to pick up a HDTV for £500? That's pretty much my budget at the moment, and i'm interested in getting one. Saying that, I will have to purchase Sky HD aswell.

Shit - wrong forum, could a mod move please

That TV is HD 'ready' not HD. Do you receive an HD signal at home or is it for gaming?

Try here Richersounds

Also, how do you find out if you receive a HD signal? It's for gaming and TV

The only ways to get HD tv is by subscribing to Sky HD (Only 8ish channels at the mo'!!) or live in London (there's a HD BBC test going on!).

Or,

Get a HD-DVD/Blu-Ray player

Or,

Get an XBox 360 or PS3.

These are the only ways I'm afraid!

DONT BELIEVE THE HD HYPE... we're so far away from it yet!!

How come people on Amazon say the picture quality is amazing on the freeview which comes with it free then?

I'm thinking of getting Sky HD anyway tbh, basically getting it for Sky Sports HD and my xbox.

Looks decent, but would probably prefer one in black. Good price though

They do others, search the site.

I've only got freeview (not HD) and an LCD HD ready TV and the picture is a big improvement.

What do you mean, surely if it's HD ready it has HD?

"HD-ready" means that its physically capable of doing it - but the manufacturer hasn't paid up to the people that own the patents on HD, which means they haven't got the copy-protection stuff which means that it won't be able to actually receive official HD signals.

We got as Sony BRAVIA 32" with freeview from 'Santa' last year got it from Richersounds. It is by far the best picture I have seen on a flat screen to date for the price.

So even if I buy a HD ready TV and get Sky HD i won't get any high definition pictures :blink: Then what is the point in buying one?

lol I'm only talking if he's desperate for HD. I wouldn't recommend it for games!! :rolleyes:

And as my extensive FT poll shows, 70% of the population* don't even own an HD set!!!

No if you buy an HD TV and subcribe to an HD channel (eg SkyHD) then you will get HD. You just cannot get HD any other way for TV.

Oh right, cheers. Im guessing you need to buy a TV with 'real HD' to watch every channel in high definition?

Don't mind getting Sky HD anyway tbh, only a tenner more a month

Go into a Currys or Dixon at the end of the month (and I mean the final day of that month) and pray that the manager hasnt hit his target and needs sales quickly. Walk into the shop and ask for the manager only and tell him what special cash deals he`ll do for you. About 4 years ago I used to manage a Currys and on the last day of the month if we needed to do say 150,000 for my tasty bonus, I would do silly deals to get there and they are all at it. They have loads of discretion and you can get great deals if there target is in sight and every month was a close one hence why all my mates and family ended up with fantastic deals lol

tbh, you don't really sound like you know anything about them - so take my advice and do some more research before spending loads of money.

Why's this in general sport anyway?

They cover you for stuff like that don't they?

In any case if you make sure you buying it off a trusted seller then is should be all good and you'll get it at about half the price.

Hate people who critisise ebay :rolleyes:

You are protected be ebay AND paypal - if you have got more than one brain cell you will be fine.
