CJ Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The ex wife and I are thinking of buying the youngest lad a 26" LCD TV for Xmas. It will be used primarily for gaming with a Wii and Xbox. Are LCD's suitable for this? I have been looking at this one here and also this here . Opinions and advice gratefully accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefferson Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 got the polaroid and use both xbox 360 on it and wii - and its great picture wise - had it swapped once already under warranty (after 4 months) so reliability might be questionable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bright 1 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 HD LCD screens are the best for space picture res,and smaller the screen better for the childs eyes if on the screen a long time. The one's your looking at will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonshaw_uk Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 if you can find an extra £30 get this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129151 a real bargain for the cost - i know a load of people that have them mainly for playing PS3, Xbox360 and the Wii and the quality is excellent on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 As long as the refresh rate is below 12 it should be a usable screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHanky Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I know that this is £65 more than the one you are looking at, but I bought 2 of these for our games room and have been really impressed with them. The Game Mode on them is an added bonus as it just makes the games look a bit sharper IMO. It is PC compatible as well, so I use it for PC gaming, 360 and PS2. http://www.prcdirect.co.uk/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=LE26S86BDX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx1lew Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 check evesham there really good for what you pay. on lcd i didn't think the xbox 360 looked too good, saying that the only lcd i have played one on is on the demo booths, samsung screen's, also it is meant to make it look better, i found it looks more jaggard, where as on crt all looked smooth and nice, is it just the samsund screens, or maybe just the settings they are using for the demo stands?

CJ Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Well, I have just spoken to my beloved ex and she now informs me that as she has won some vouchers, we can only buy the TV at Argos or Comet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
