Hmm... I'd like to use it as a TV too, so would the other one be better?Fishbong posted on Mar 19 2007 at 11:51 PM said:Screen: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/22-Widescreen-LCD-Mo...1QQcmdZViewItem
YPbPr Box: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YPbPr-Component-VGA-...VQQcmdZViewItem
22" Widescreen, DVI, VGA, 5ms for 200 GBP incl P&P.
If you want YPbPr Component input, add another 26 (inc. P&P) GBP for the YPbPr VGA Box.
BUT:
-It won´t handle any Analogue input (RF, Scart...) and it doesn´t support all versions of the PS2, only those with YPbPr output (most are YCbCr)
-Anything that isn´t HD resolution (like the Wii) will look more or less blurry. That´s the same for all LC displays though, your TV would probably have this issue too.
Samsung isn't HD ready.loz_the_guru posted on Mar 22 2007 at 11:45 AM said:id get the samsun over both of those. The wharfedale will just be a poorly manufcatured product as the company long ago licnsed their name out to other companys to produce inferior dvd/av products, although the high-end speakers are still good. The panel inside the samsun will be of a higher quality than the acoustic solutions one too. Both of those brands are pretty much argos exclsuive, i.e. cheap unreliable crap thats likely to break/deteriorate fairly quickly.
The Samsung one doesn't have HDCP, and something else iirc.loz_the_guru posted on Mar 22 2007 at 01:19 PM said:are you 100% its not HD? The stated resolution looks to be HD to me, so maybe a bit more research is in order? Either way like I said, it really wont amke a great deal of difference at those sort of screen szies. Youd be better off going for a 26" model, if you search around the net there are plenty of discount codes for dixons currys and pc world floating around, and this shouldnt make the price difference massive. But really, i wouldnt go with either of those argos models.
