Re: Thinking of LED TV
Well we went out to look at this TV - the Sharp LC32LD145K that is, and walked out of the shop with it!
I had to consider getting a break-out SCART box to plug everything into so I went to Maplins and bought one for £13.59 so the telly cost us £199.95, 5-year No-Quibble Warranty was £19.95 plus that break-out box so that's £233.49 altogether -
still cheaper the John Lewis.
We bought it at Richer Sounds - very professional people, not at all pushy and very helpful too, as was the guy at Maplin too.
I had to strip-out all our old connections, move our old telly then re-plug up everything and started the TV up.
I spent about an hour trying to work out why it wouldn't find anything before my wife pointed out the instruction regarding "
Common Connection Units" which I'd not seen, (or ignored - doh!!) - so I thought, maybe it has to be straight connection from the SKY box without the SCART Break out box attached as it's trying to locate a signal on the break out box instead!
So I plugged it up and off it went, all set-up in milliseconds!!
Very,
very impressed with this TV - the settings for sound have an Equaliser which I've twiddled to get the best possible speech with the background music muted slightly and it helps me a lot.
Picture's great too, with a huge range of options but I've yet to explore the two-way USB socket, which can be used for running your photos on screen or adding a hard drive recorder - pretty nifty!
Thank you to all those who offered advice and I'd definitely recommend this TV to anyone. stevmk2
