[dransy]

Hi all basically im getting a new phone and can get something free with it .

I need money so i was gonna get a 42 inch lcd and sell it....

Does anyone know how much i could get for this https://direct.asda.com/LG-42+-PQ3000-HD-Ready-Plasma-TV/000588166,default,pd.html thats the tv i can get with new phone.

It wont be touched or the box wont be opened but i doubt il be able to get 650 for it.

Anyone got any ideas how much i could get for it?

Maybe more?

Sell it on ebay as an unwanted gift. Say the box is sealed, but can't take it back due to it being a gift. etc.

You would get £600 at least.

How much/long is your contract?

Could you not get a cheaper contract if you want to save money?

I think you missed what was trying to be said.

The phone company is making a profit from the contract you are looking at even though they are handing out a free plasma screen.

Therefore, if you took the cost of the screen out of the contract you would have a cheaper contract with the same 'features'.
Save the difference and at the end of the contract you will have the same amount (if not more) saved than you would get selling the screen.

In other words, do the maths. Is it really the best way to get the money for a car?

I have gotta agree with the guy above.

I have a top of the range phone (one of the best) its a Samsung i8910 HD.
Check it out if you like. Its easily a £500+ phone but I'm only paying £24 a month on a 18 month contract.

Thats with 600 anytime mins and unlimited texts.

If you do the maths, how much could you be saving?

All I'm saying is a 36 month contract is unreal! I would want a TV for the money you must be paying! Please tell me you have a top of the range phone too.

Its HD ready why do you think it is wank as a result ???

Think before you answer as not to long ago i spent far to long doing TV research.....

steve

[chris-red]

For the reason I said. Read the post, I have a 32" Samsung, I bought it 2 years ago. That too is HD ready yet the resolution on that is 1360x768. The screen the OP is on about has a resolution of 1024x768 yet it is a much bigger screen size. Piss poor resolution on a big screen is pointless.

I hope this is clear for someone that clearly knows there stuff

chris you know f all about tvs and i cant be assed to elighten you on what i learned as i find it a bit boring now i know whats what.

if you really want to know why your talking crap then post your piss poor comment on the plasma section of avforums and you will learn a bit.

Your talking bollux aswell ...

in short the picture quality depends on many factors, and can not be nowhere near determined by screen res alone.

steve

really thats bollux annal, hows about people making the initial comments backing them up....,..

but in short again its about,

screen size
viewing distance
Source be it SD or HD or gaming and bitrate sd
resolution
scalers
eyesight
settings and calibration
plasma or lcd

factor all that in and then you can determine PQ.

Im not a tv geek but basically the HD ready TV will be better at displaying SD that the full HD set because it only has to scale the sd image of about 576 to 720p whereas a full hd has to scale down all the way to 576.ish. ( 500 od ok )

If you have HD veiwing on a 50 inch full hd screen at about 6 feet viewing distance then you have a bloody good picture. ] even then the HD source should be for trhe best pq to be blueray at 1080 p caus bar gaming noone inc sky or freesat send out 1080p signal.

Telling the difference in pq at different resolutions is difficult aswell. depending on source screen size and distance to screen.

For standard definition, besides its res of around 576 its channell bitrate be it c4 or bbc needs to be factored in aswell.

Other factors to consider are say a pioneer screen will scale better than most, without a external video processor and a calibrated set via cfx (forgot name) is even better.

thats my lamens knowledge without asking my avforum geeky associates
