Title: Well, after 4 weeks I\'ve just been told my tv can\'t be repaired.....
Post by: Heat on January 13, 2003, 05:21:29 AM: ..But they\'re giving me £500 store credit at Comet ( more than my tv cost in the first place ) So I went online and now I\'m getting the Sony KV24LS35, pure flat screen 24" Widescreen with Virtual Dolby. It\'s actually alot better than my Panasonic one. I\'m hoping I\'ll have it soon as I\'ve been using a 14" for the last month, sucks major ass.

Post by: Heat on January 13, 2003, 06:01:30 AM: LOL, not likely in my house. I went to my dads house just to play it and it was nothing more than a slight upgrade in my opinion, it WILL look good with Halo running on it though :D plus the Getaway, because that\'s designed for Widescreen you should see how bad it looks on a 14" portable.

Post by: project86 on January 13, 2003, 06:06:28 AM: Nice, but I will say that it would look even better if it was bigger like say about 8 to 12 inches bigger. Cool deal.

Post by: Heat on January 13, 2003, 06:10:23 AM: 24" is fine for my room, the room is packed to bursting point with PC\'s, Hi Fi equiptment, Xbox, Ps2, GC, DVD player, Mini Disk player, CD player, Twin Tape Deck, AMP, Graphic and 4 speakers. I really couldn\'t fit a 28" in here, I measured it.

Bummer. I guess when I think big it\'s because I have an entire house to fill with goodies such as these. I will say though that the deal you are getting is a damn good one. ;)

Post by: Heat on January 13, 2003, 06:19:15 AM: Yeah, I nearly creamed myself when they said I had £500 store credit. I do have a 32" downstairs but that room is alot bigger than mine.

Post by: Living-In-Clip on January 13, 2003, 02:22:17 PM: 24 inch Widescreen? Yikes. That is way to small for a widescreen TV. You\'ll go blind watchin that.

Post by: Heat on January 13, 2003, 03:28:48 PM: Yes, it was worth the wait, it is allot better then my old Widescreen.

No, I won\'t go blind. I\'ve had my widescreen for ages and I can still see, thanks for your comment though, I\'ll sleep easy now.

Post by: Samwise on January 14, 2003, 12:56:39 AM: I have a 28" widescreen TV and when I was about to get it people said "that\'s too small, 4:3 viewing will be bad, yadda yadda yadda". Screw them - the TV looks huge in reality and it fits perfectly in my living room. I never watch 4:3 in that aspect; the TV stretches it or something - and it looks fine to me (and plenty big :)). So congrats Heat!

Post by: Living-In-Clip on January 14, 2003, 04:55:59 AM: I wasn\'t even thinkin\' about the 4:3 view , as almost all widescreens have different means of stretching the image to fit it. I was thinkin\' on the line of 24 just being pretty damn small and what not....

It\'s nothing personal. Hell, I lived with a good ole\' 19 inch for quite sometime. I\'m just spoiled now.
