Did anyone notice that the sound from the TV can be heard (very softly) when in Ext (Scart) mode?

But there appear to be resolution issues with PC connections and you can't connect a PC via DVI.

Make sure you go through the Auto PC setup in the actual TV, I was on the verge of taking it back until I found this and now my PC picture is perfect.

I have the analogue TV Tuner set up and Xbox connected to Scart1.

When I go into Scart1 mode and use the Xbox, I can hear the sound from the TV Tuner being played in the background at a very low volume.

Ohh, hmmm...I'm connected to teletwest digital, dont use the analogue broadcasts with this telly. If you turn up the volume when you play your xbox does the background sound also get louder?

Just thought i'd mention this because its worthwhile.

If you're going to connect a ps2 to the tv buy yourself a set of ps2 component cables, bit hard to find in a shop so i bought from ebay. The cable seriously does improve the picture. Not sure for Xbox, but i imagine there would be component cables aswell so worth checking out.

Talking of cables, does the TV have a VGA cable supplied to connect a PC to it?

If not what connection (male/female) is on the back of the unit so i can get hold of one in advanced.

Many Thanks

Nope you don't get a vga cable, the tv has female connection on the rear.

Might be worth searching AVForums to see if anyone else has this issue, my set up is as follows and i get a great picture in all instances.

Telewest Digital box connected to RGB - Scart 1 (Ext. 1) You need to tell the Telewest box to output with RGB as it's default is with composite.

DVD player connected to Scart 2 (Ext. 2) The player is set to output Component, i might buy a set of component cables instead of using a scart, but picture is great as it is.

Playstation 2 connected to A/V Component Plugs.

No issues at all, very happy!
