42 in flat screen

[chilli]

I too use component for DVD and RGB for TV/Sky

[Tricky-Ricky]

I thought it went HDMI, component (which is RGB in effect),

then S-video followed by scart (which can also be RGB) but i think its lower quality.

[chilli]

HD is digital so not really in for comparison. Although I suspect RGB has more bandwith than any digital carrier, but which is better probably depends on how it is used.

 

probably need HDMI type B (not currently in use?) to be better than RGB for sure.

 

Component is not RGB, it just happens to use 3 wires (but then again RGB can use 4 or 5 anyway depending).

 

scart can carry many signals, component, rgb, composite etc so it is not really a video standard to be compared with the others as such.

 

for example my scart carries RGB+sync, some only carry composite etc...

on a footnote mate,how much was your glass stand ? i sell the exact same stand £99.99

 

Do you sell via ebay and if so whats your name on there (I just bought one)

Sorry but HDMI is the top of the pecking order...

 

HDMI = 5 Gbps bandwidth and that includes 8 channel digital audio

 

 

I have just purchased a new LG 42" plasma with HDMI and I have also purchased the new Toshiba HD-AX1 HD DVD player (True DVD) which is only available in the states at the moment but this is the only way to watch real HD DVD right now. The quality will be be better then Sky HD....

Weve got a 42 inch plasma Hyundi (spelling?) was only a grand a year ago and we love it.

 

Ive got this 1 too pix not always brilliant but damn its huge dvds always look good well worth the 799 price i paid for it

[Guest blueangel]

What cables do i need to run my tv on the rgb or component and will ntl run throu it as thats where my pic quality is worse. Could som1 pm me how to do this please

There's a Comet clearence centre by me that sells returns/cosmetic damaged stock/ex display etc.

 

I bought this 42" Hitachi Plamsa ex display for just £840 http://www.comet.co.uk/comet/html/cache/455_252425.html?cm_ven=Kelkoo&cm_cat=Feed&cm_pla=Plasma__LCD_TVs&cm_ite=252425_HITACHI_42PD7200A

 

I saved over £500 and it's still in A1 condition.

 

You can get clearance stock off this Comet site: http://www.clearance-comet.co.uk/

 

Not as cheap as the actual clearance centre but still cheaper than brand new.

HDMI is just digitised RGB or YCbCr, at typically 8 bits, sometimes 10 or 12 - with some additional connections for audo

 

RGB is a pure analog signal, it's limitations purely on the end electronics and the bandwidth of the coax that carrries it...

 

that's why I say it depends on how it is used.

 

you can convey more information over 3 coaxials than you can over a HDMI lead I'd suspect.

 

bit like saying CD is better than analog tape, depends, cd has a definite limit, analog tape can exceed 32bit resolution (i.e. studio quality reel to reel)

[Guest blueangel]

lol you lost me im actually more confused

[JamieP]

My freind owns a TV shop... he does great deals.. if anyone wants a price phone him with a model number;)

Say your a friend of jamie price:)

 

Stuart TV.. tel 0208 5737509.. speak with bernard or mike, there in hayes, middlesex;)

[Digsy]

also ,. some need to be re-gassed anytime from 1 year to 5 years after being used., this can cost £250.

 

No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!!!!

 

This is the biggest plasma urban myth on the planet.

 

Plasma glass screens are sealed at the factory. They do NOT need to be "re-gassed".

 

***EDIT*** ...but you found that out already Whoops.

How about this LINKY

[Rob]

the pecking order goes something like

 

RGB - best

Component (second to RGB but is actually better for DVDs because they are encoded in component, therefore no conversion needed)

SVideo

Composite (would rather not watch TV than use this crap)

 

I use RGB/Component always and the difference over SVideo is clear as night and day for me

 

 

I've got the same Phillips telly on RGB connectors. He's right, soft skin tones and subtle smoke go very pixellated and blocky. Bloody annoying for the money it cost,

 

and my huge collection of naked girls smoking fags DVDs.

yeah that's a shame but it will be down to the electronics inside the unit, not the RGB connections.

 

don't forget there are only a few true manufacturers of screens also, most of the noticable difference between good and bad plasmas for example is in large part to the quality of the digital processing going on inside.

lol, erm I seem to have lost my catalog, any chance of a backup lol
