Thanks for all the comments on this. I gave it a few more days, but it niggled me too much, so I returned the TV and had it refunded this afternoon. To be fair on Currys, they took it back without any problems at all. I'd already spoken to their helpline and had been given a return code, so it...

Thanks for your advice. The photograph does make it look worse than it is (I didn't want everyone to have to turn their lights down to see it!), but I was just playing a game after work and I constantly get a hint of those lighter patches at the top. When I first bought te TV, it almost looked...

I've just picked up an edge lit LED TV to replace a 5 year old LCD screen. Whilst most of the time the picture is a massive improvement over my old TV, there are noticeable lighter patches that are visible on dark scenes or game loading screens. I've dropped in an image below, this has been...

I know this is how it should work, but try as I might, I can't get it to display anything other than a stretched image! For example, the Film Four logo in the link below should be a perfect square, it's clearly not. Whatever settings I use, the shape never seems to change.

I'm looking for a Freeview HD box that can output 16:10. Does such a thing exist? I have a 16:10 screen and plugging in my existing box just stretches everything vertically. Obviously I realise Freeview is not broadcast in 16:10, but I'd be happy with black bars at the top and bottom (or...

I live in a one floor apartment, in the living room I have my router which is connected physically to my computer and PS3. I also have a laptop and phone which I connect wirelessly. My bedroom, where I largely use my laptop, is approx 20 metres away from the router, at the opposite end of...

Sunama, I can appreciate you're just starting out, my main question is whether a cheap website is going to be a benefit to you, or if you'd be better saving your money. We get contacted by customers sometimes who've had a site built on the cheap, it's out of date and they can't get it updated...

I've read previous posts higher up about your reasons for getting this done on the cheap, but I still can't help thinking that no matter how cheap it SEEMS, you're wasting your money here. Their websites are basic and very dated. Aside from the out of date look, they're put together very...

thanks for the advice. No plans to overclock. My current graphics card is AGP, otherwise I might stick with what I had. Does all this stuff come with everything I need to connect it all together? I've got lots of experience with installing PCI cards, hard drives, memory etc. but have...

Hi I'm just looking for a little assistance specs for a system! I work as a web designer, so regularly user Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash etc all at once. I also do other design related things in my spare time, so throw Illustrator and Indesign into the above list, but no 3D. I also...

when you say the "yellow" plug, it sounds more like you're using composite than s-video, which is as bad as it gets. If you get a component cable, the quality does improve, though as has been mentioned, you're still stretching a low-res picture. Personally I think it looks ok so long as you...

ic1male: yes, the PAL PS2 can output 480p, just not many games support it! (some of the ones that do include be Soul Calibur 2, Out Run Coast to Coast and Shadow of the Colossus). Do you have any problems with aspect ratio on a freeview box? I tried hooking up my Sky Digital, but I couldn't...

I *think* the component will do upto 1080i, it definately does 720p which looks pretty nice to me! Of course the problem is that most PS2 games will output 480p at best, so the quality isn't superb. I was previously running my PS2 and Xbox on a 14" CRT TV and it's definately a huge step up...

thanks for the tips everyone, I'll look into the screens mentioned. Most of the work I do doesn't require 100% perfect colour accuracy (especially web work where I know most people will be viewing it on some cheap 15" screen in their office!), I just need something that's not very far off...

Hi I'm looking for a new TFT and I'm wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions? I work as a web designer and have also do a bit of freelance print work. This being the case I'd like something with a good degree of colour accuracy and also something with quite a decent resolution...
