Peculiar: "characteristic of only one person, group, or thing"

That would very much depend on which Dictionary that you looked at;

" unusual and strange, sometimes in an unpleasant way:
She has the most peculiar ideas.
What a peculiar smell!
It's peculiar that they didn't tell us they were going away.
UK The video on road accidents made me feel rather peculiar (= ill). ":rolleyes:

I don't see the point you're making?

You're saying that my view of how watching a television works is peculiar, meaning "characteristic of only one person..." - presumably me.

Inactive says that your view how watching a television works is peculiar...In saying so, I'm fairly sure he meant it was "characteristic of only one person..." ie you.

I don't really see anything too sinister in that. Of course, I can hear the reply coming as I type this..."he said I was peculiar, not my views, yadayadayada...". Hence, no doubt, this "difficulty" you're facing. If you're struggling with getting people to respond in exactly the correct syntax, you may find yourself happier if you look at the broader content of the post, rather than splitting hairs and being pedantic over the SPAG of the thing...Just a thought.

Your first statement is the correct interpretation of the meaning of what I said.

It would now appear that Inactive is saying that you have "personal, unusual and strange, requirements".

Inactive was quoting my statement, not making one of his own, so he must be referring to your viewing requirements, not mine !

None of this matters really, if you want to sit with your nose glued to the screen of your TV so that you can get the benefit of HD, fine by me, I prefer to sit at a comfortable distance from mine.

I actually watch my TV, I don't sit counting the lines.:rolleyes:

Gee, you l0s3r!

If you'd sit a few feet further forward and watch the Matrix, you'd be able to see the zit Keanu Reeves got on his neck when he applied too much moisturiser one day.

Geez, can't believe n00bs miss this shizzle

I don't really want to spend more than £350

I only wanted to spend that, but ended up buying a set for £950 after reading a few reviews! And a bloody good one it is too. Panasonic tx-37lzd800.
You really will get what you pay for with an LCD or Plasma tv so choose carefully, although that doesn't mean that there arn't any bargains out there to be found but you still looking at £450+

If you're looking to spend less than £400, then you're looking for a terrible 26" set, really and in anything under 32 you can't really get a 1080 set.

If you're looking to spend more, then a 32 inch panasonic set, sony or samsung will see you fine.

A panasonic 32lxd85 is brilliant and 720 resolution, but has a 100hz refresh rate which makes movement noticably smoother. It's a discontinued model, though.

If you're looking at a 37+ sized set, go to a shop, look at the HD ready vs 1080 sets and notice that the lower res sets can have jagged edges, even on HD broadcasts, whereas full HD are much smoother.

Not quite sure how you get to that conclusion, as no broadcaster actually broadcasts at 1080p ( Full HD ), nor are they likely to.
