After searching loads of HDTV's on-line to find my best bang for buck /value to performance ratio I have eventually found what I hope shall be my unit.

http://www.hdtvorg.co.uk/reviews/lcd/Sharp_lc42xd1e.htm

Full HD 1080p, x2 HDMI, 1xScart, 1xRGB Scart, 1xComposite.


Any one else HDTV'd ?

I don't have one but Sharp makes a long lasting product from past experiences of using their stuff - you should get your moneys worth out of it.

Keasy, I have a lot of experience with HD tv's. The Sharp Aquos rates on the high end of the LCD's. It tends to run hot(expected), but the HD chipset is one of the best. Their black to gray response is off the charts and they have some of the better digital comb filters. The only thing I see consistently with the Aquos is that they are tuned very flat out of the box(picturewise). The preset pic setings don't do it real justice.I use(d) this http://www.calibration-direct.com/prodspydertv.html?gclid=CMi8ht-W2I4CFTyKOAodWm4FBA  to tune them and the picture quality is fecking mind blowing when they are tuned in at optimum and you save your preferences into the user settings. If you can't buy one, pay the money for someone to come out and tune it for your different viewing habits. It's worth every penny. It usually takes me about half an hour to tune a TV and the guys around here are charging about 60-70$USD to do it.

Nnex must be overcompensating for something ...

Why don't any of these sites show refresh values except for Sug's?  Kinda important for fast action.

I've been watching the market for the last half year or so.  I'm thinking next year I will pick up some obscenely large TV to replace my old 34" GE.  Looking at a DLP in the 60" range hopefully.

Those tvs and really nice.
due to financial constraints i bought a elonex 37" for £372 with a tenner off for using google checkout. but you only get what you pay for so slow response and only one HDMI, but the picture is good and DVD play very well.

You're right on the cusp with the response times Ed. It ain't to slow, you will be able to play 360 games without any noticeable slowing.
