LG LH3000 - alternatives?

[snotrag]

For my bedroom - Humax freeview box, PC and PS3. Needs to be full HD, dotn give me any of that 'you wont notice on a 32 rubbish' because ive tried them and you can notice.

Has everything I need - 1:1 pixel mapping, good response, reasonable SD picture, cheap - £380 best price I've found.

Pretty much set on on one of these in 32" format, unless anyone can suggest anything I've missed?

We've got the 42" LG3000, its turning out to be a pretty good set. Picture is excellent (blu ray off the PS3 is fantastic), sound is okay for a built-in unit at the price, source controls excellent, menus good.

Can't fault it! Well, maybe the only "fault" is that it doesn't play Divx itself out of the box without hacking ..... but then we've got the PS3!

Thanks for that.

I've found the only real flaws mentioned in reviews are ones that dont particularly matter to me - such as the speakers - they'll never get used.

I kind of want to get a 37" but its a fair bit more money and I think it would be a bit big for PC use.

Ive been considering the same thing. £50 more for the 37 inch is more likely to get my money, the cost goes up too much bigger than that.

I already tested my PC on the 42 inch tv in the lounge and it was a bit big anyway really.

Oddly, I was rather impressed by the sound on my 32LH3000.

The 1:1 option is called just scan, btw.

You can do native DivX, JPG, MPEG4 et al by bumping the firmware. I think the guide is on AV forums.

Good set for the money; certainly holds it own with the Sony V5500 in by book. I was rather impressed by the scaler in it, especially on Freeview. Did a much, much better job than a lot of sets out there to my eye.
