Which LCD tv for ps3/movies/tv normal watching

Former Member

I'm looking for a new LCD TV for my bedroom. It is for close range watching/gaming as it is mounted on my wall on a stand.

I am looking for a 18.5" to 19" LCD with Freeview/HDMI/HD Ready and maybe an energy saving option.

I am looking at Curry's, Comet and Argos. My sister has just bought this one....http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500001801&langId=-1&searchTerms=5293647&Submit=GO+%3E


Just wondering what other people recommend?

My budget is up to £270. But I am aiming for a price in the region of around £170.

What are the good makes?
Links?

Thanks

edit: Also which HDMI cable?

Former Member

Right, I might buy the tv on the above link. Now all I want to know is what HDMI cable I need.

Any any advice would be of great help!!

What do you mean by "which" cable? They're all the same. You wouldn't notice any difference by buying those fancy cables.

Not really true.

These are good.

Yeah probably but with a small TV and no posh stereo it's not going to make a whole load of difference.

If it were a massive screen with full HD and a kick ass surround system, then I could see why you might want to invest a bit more in cables.

Just bought the tv and a ps3 hdmi cable.

Former Member

Now my question is
How do I connect the tv below with the hdmi cable?

I've tried going through the display setup on the ps3 using just the hdmi option and it won't do it.

Doesn't matter now. I've figured it out.

Yes. It is a pretty decent blu-ray player.
