Lol no I have not but my computer monitor is an Acer H274HL 27" 1080P LED Monitor....im sure it would look excellent if I hooked up my DC to it
Lol! Ohh yeah. My DC games looks simply awesome on my Vizio LED tv ;)
Actually technically there's no such thing as an LED TV. What people refer to as an LED TV is actually an LCD TV with an LED backlight. :ugeek: :lol:

OLED TV's will be passé by then. Holographic projectors with smell-o-vision will be all the rage!

um... ok lol, I watched this thing on gadget show about LG a while back and LG are actually the biggest or one of the very biggest in asia, they make property!! it also went into explaining that they MASS PRODUCE screens for all the other tv companies, so chances are if you own a Sony the actual screen was manufactured in an LG factory ;)

I've always loved LG and have never had any problems, I had an old LG Netee for about 10 years in my bedroom at my parents house and it did my Dreamcast a treat until I moved up to LG LCD's and I have never looked back. I had a bravia which was shit beyond all reckoning before getting my first LG LCD and I gave that stupid little blue Bravia to my parents lol.

I would say that my comments about Plasmas are to be fair based on my experiences from about 4 years ago, but then my LCD that I have is only about 18 months old and I still think it looks better than any Plasma on the shelves in stores, but maybe that's just me

I worked in a shop that sold TVs. Guess which display models always broke down?...

But hey, if you're happy with it, all the better I'd say... ;)

As for LG making a shitload of displays, even for other companies. That's all good and well, but a TV is more than just the display panel. Especially nowadays...
