    ok fellas

    I have decided to spend big........was weighing up digital video camcorder or LCD tv

    seeing its winter and i'll spend more time on the couch than anywhere else

    anyone on the TRF got an LCD TV and component cables

    I will await Los Lovers essay.......no seriously, i'd like an indepth write up, and i know it will come

    but can anyone else share their views and experiences with LCD tv's

    They have dropped in price dramatically over the past 6 months, and its time to get 'Digi' wit it

    also the FAD of walking home with it tucked under my arms like a surfboard.......CANT WAIT

    on-screen kb...has to b short

    lcd bad - games burn into image and too pixalated. a good crt 100 hz is still better. trust me. however a dlp pj is the best. def use component though. after pj - no tv is big enough!

    Question

    there's no chance i am getting a CRT or projector

    Is this true that LCD sux with games?

    at all the stores here u play games on lcd screens........and they look crisp and brilliant IMO.

    I had a guy at dick smith give me a demo on the LCD

    is was the best picture i had ever seen.........the DVD was hooked up to 5 Tv's so u could compare the difference.

    the only problem i am having is finding the ps2 component cables

    nobody has them in stock, so i'll have to order from the web

    i take it nobody has played a game on LCD?......lack of responses? whats doing here

    haven't played on an lcd tv but have played game on my dad's 24inch dell widescreen lcd screen and man was it good. Everything was so much sharper and clearer than a crt. I found it really hard going back to my crt afterewards all the text on the screen looked out of focus and not as clear

    dude just get one of trade me....that's generic as well (the one you have a link too) and is exactly the same as the ones on trademe. I got an s-video generic cable to go with projector before I got the official sony component and even the s-video generic noticeably improved the picture...

    for peace of mind...order in the official component to the gp-store and pay 30 dollars flat.....that's my safe, reliable, quality recommendation.

    However, my 'I'll fly by the seat of my pants' recommendation would be the generic but they can bend in a border sometimes, just slightly.

    Yes, if speakers on side, but only one that fits. then take it b/c surround sound means doesn't really matter.

    However 4 projector - dark room not an issue at night time yeah!? Anyway.....

    Back to the point on tvs......you are obviously going cash converters or appliance warehouse or something at these prices...as the philips I describe is retailing at 2000+...

    thus make sure you ask the tv's history....i.e.

    it may have been:

    - pre-owned
    - been scratched and is otherwise mint

    OR...Like mine....

    It is mint and was a display tv instore for about 6 days......these are the sort of ones you want. Good as new but half price. I've used it continuously (but normally) now for a year.....and it is still 100% quality sound and picture and looks like it will be forever to be honest or 60,000 tube hours!!! Whatever comes first...I don't mind.

    I've had my projector for three weeks now and have only used 40 hours (and that's uding it whenevr I can really).....it is a 3000+ hour lamp...that's pretty sweet.

    Anyway, tv first is understandable, it's what I did too. But you will eventually want to go quality and size....everybody does because the old saying is always true:

    'Everything is relative".

    Indeed Einstein.....Indeed.

    well u wouldnt believe it

    i buy the TV and still havent got it from delivery goons

    bing lee have been warned via my nice email

    To whom it may concern

    I am writing an offical complaint to how things are handled regarding delivery of goods that costs customers $35

    Last Sunday I purchased a $1000 TV, to be told it would be delivered on Monday.

    I was hesitant at 1st, as nobody would be home on Monday for most of the day........I was told by your representatives, that your people would call to confirm a time for delivery.

    I receive a call on monday not confirming any times, but you give me a timeframe to be home - which was not negotiable, unlike your proud motto!!!

    Timeframe was 12-3pm...................was told if i was not home in these times, then i would have to cancel and re-schedule a new day.

    I call and re-schedule, for the next day delivery before 11am.........I am told by Miss X that my suberb is genreally only delivered in the afternoon (why was I not told this in the first place when buying the TV)...........I object and am passed though to the sales-rep whom sold me the TV.........he confirms the cancel and re-shedule procedure, but cannot confirm a time for delivery (which contradicts what Miss X told me in the 1st place that my suberb is afternoon only).

    So I am left with picking a day of the week, but cant pick a timeframe...........thus leaving me with the ultimatum to take a full day leave from work.

    Do you think this is how things should be handled when its costs $35

    After-all it is my job that is #1 priority, and the bread and butter as to how you got my $1000 for the TV.

    Now I gotto take a full day off - simply because your delivery system cannot:
    A. Confirm a smaller timeframe to the nearest hour.
    B. just deliver on priority basis of what the customer wants...........ie Monday 10am, or Tuesday 6pm, whatever they book, they pay $35 for this
    C. Utilise a negotiable system where the driver and customer can be flexible in the way they want things handled - your driver was extremely inflexible, which suggests this is the system and procedure talking

    Now for $1000 I have

    No TV for 2 days, when promised next day delivery - this promise can only be uphold if I take a full day off - you need me to uphold you promise - yeah good one!.
    Got to take a full day off work - try having ur employess request this just for a home appliance delivery
    A pissed off brain that will tell its feet not to walk in the direction of Bing Lee again

    It is the customers that pay for your products, but we are left in the procedure loohope and deffiencies of Bing Lee


    NOW MY BEST MATE JUST PHONED AND SAID THE BLIC'S DEMOS HAVE ARRIVED

    BING LEE ARE COPPING A SHITLOAD TOMORROW

    No offence, but patience bro. That;s what happens if you won't/can't pick up.

    Ordering on sunday and recieving on the Monday would be a world record bro. You must be hanging out and getting too stressed lol!!!!

    pick up is the way, otherwise for the perk of home delivery...I guess you gotta bide your time ya know? But you should have been really nice to them....for that industry, that's the best tactic to get things done quicker. Otherwise you become less of a priority for special service and help ya know?

    haha! I sens your pain, but if you try and forget etc, it'll pribably arrive before you know. You've focused too hard on trying to get for Auckland game haven't you...I can read minds ya know.

    i have told them, to shove the delivery where the sun dont shine and be open at 9am tomorrow for my skinny ass to pick up

    i will have it tomorrow 100%

    will post my thoughts, once plugged in, and loaded up BLIC demo

    am working a late shift 12pm till 8pm, so i have all morning to straighten out bing lee

    what u dont understand is the promises and convenience assured with this delivery
    that i never got which spurred my moment of madness via email

    p.s its the second strike they've had with me - and i missed wimbledon in HD, and i dont wanna miss SOO

    I told you, but you wouldn't listen...sorry, but it's true.

    On trade me....shit comes quickly because people have standards (feedback etc that affects who buys)....I got my s-video cable (two days after I ordered it) and my extension cable also two days after ordered. You have their account details because that is hw you pay. It's foolproof really...but you trusted an anonymous nothing website...crazy!!

    Oh well, I'm having trouble finalising BLic order!! So your woe is not so bad.

    ok

    so i buy F1-05 last wedensday

    it its ok but too monotonus comapred to GT4

    i iwake with a big hangover on saturday and decide to go up to EB and swap F1-05 for Fight night Rd2.

    whilst in EB i see the glowing halo hype figure on the wall

    a massive component/optical/s-video/everythingu want in 1 for $30.00

    with the spread i made with the f1-05 and FN trade in it cost me $10.00

    now i have some incoming via air mail from Hong Kong, but who cares...I will soon have 2 sets, and one of them has s-video so i can sell that to a mate who has s-video.

    I bolt home like a kid at Christmas, with components and Fight Night in 1 hand, food and beer for the rest of the weekend in the other

    plugged in the components - god now sits in my TV........GOD

    booted up the Fight Night - now i could tell much diff, as i have never played the fight night before........so i loaded up the BLIC demo and the components really shone their stuff

    back to fight night............awesome game, tonnes of fun, got the haymakers going after a few seasons with CAB Kostya Tzyu.

    then my mate whom has the BLIC sindicate order with his account, come over with news "Picked n Packed"

    "Picked n packed"...................BLIC has arrived at the Game.Net warehouse and has been picked n packed ready for dispatchment hopefully today UK time

    BLIC set for on-time delivery, at about the same time as the 1st delivery of the 1st test!!!

    Heaven sent my friend...

    hey! Can you tell these pc freaks how much better the component image is so that they can understand that big screen plus component is better by a country mile overall.

    They won't listen to me....but component rocks the friggin' house when you go big.

    My game is not coming from there but I am expecting to go soon nevertheless.

    It's aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllll llll good.



    Did you see my review of cricket 2005 ak? I gave it one hour of my life, cracked 10 x 6s in an 86 from Flintoff, vomitted on the floor and returned it with a day to go in the hire.
    I'm so glad patience + cash to cc holder + use of credit card has = BLICs in about a week or so......excellent.

    i got a digital set top box for TV

    i got that running thru s-video

    now i know its still not component but tv thru s-video is the best i have ever seen

    i get to watch the ashes thru this - and its like i can touch the players

    i can only assume with great accuracy what component does to DVD's

    time to rent JFK.............i'll be able to disect where the bullet comes from, when it hits, and the speed and trajectory.......thus unsolving the mystery of the century!!!

    who needs the CIA when we have documentary footage with component upgrades!
