What should I get?

^ I have the middle one on the top row! xD!

Thanks for the link. Clicking on the first one that came up:

That looks quite decent.
How can you tell if it's 720p, 1080p or 1080i from the list of details though?

 

[nealbie]

Well the widescreen one next to it I know has 1080i, and it looks gorgeous when playing on the PS3

Should get 1080p not 1080i. I have a 1080i and wish I had the the 1080p they are a lot better and newer.

 

[Ollie]

1080p is meant to look better than 1080i though isn't it?

 

[Pierre]

1080p is classed as "Full HD"...

Very few games support 1080p at the moment but if you're buying for the long run then you need it, but I don't think you'll get a 1080p 32" for £350 to be honest.

 

[Ollie]

How can you tell what p or i a tv is from the descriptions they give you though?

 

[AeRo]

The ones that say "Full HD" are 1080p. As Pierre says they are expensive ... the LE32B550 is £470 :?

Get a Mac.

^NO!

I'm only going to be using this TV for playing the PS3 really so I want one that will really make it look it's best, so something that gives games it's best graphics or flows nicer on-screen.
Not many games support 1080p but more will in the future I presume which is why I want that if I can but I doubt I'll get one for that much. Unless you see one that's only a couple hundred more and I may give my mum some money to get a better one.

Any ideas?


Edit. I've been looking at a TV that was mentioned on the last page.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LE32B55 ... 053&sr=1-1

It looks good but would it be good for gaming? I don't mind giving my mum an extra hundred to get a better TV as if your paying that much you may as well get a decent one.

You could always take the risk of Ebay. I have bought both of my Video Cameras there and not had a problem, but it is a risk.

[Ollie]

Nah not Ebay for a TV I don't think. I edited my post above yours with an Amazon link with a TV that looks quite good.

 

[marc]

I have got stuff from here before and never had a problem

That Amazon one is from Hughes Direct, I got my Blu Ray Player from them via Play.com and had no problems.

The Ebay thing is fine as long as you know the risks, there are quite a few retailers selling there now.

 

[Ollie]

Sorry to bump this topic up. But I think I'm set on a TV I think looks good now.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LE32B55 ... 053&sr=1-1

Also just decided I may be looking into surround sound.
I have no idea what's good and what isn't and am looking for a cheap one that I can link up with my PS3 and TV.


Thanks for all your help so far though, it's appreciated.
