would the database say out of stock if they sold out?
Im hoping i will still get mine as i ordered on sun 1st but i also have a wierd delivery date of october 1st 2007?when i ordered it said delivery 25th october.On the website now it says 17th November?I presume if we ordered before today we get priority?

Quick question, I scanned the forum but guess I missed it. Does it come with a wall mount, if not how much does one cost?

Guys,

I started the posts regarding the quality of this set when I reported the ghosting problems and shaddowing. Having listened to the various posting from other people I figured I'd buy it anyway and see for myself as I checked and I was able to bring it back if it wasnt what I wanted.

I have used the television all weekend now and can report the following:

Good points
1. The television looks great and IS wall mountable. However, you will need to buy the required brackets.
2. It IS a rebadged Thompson - this means nothing to me but I wanted to check.
3. Works great as a PC monitor which is what I am using it for, but you need to change the aspect ratio as it doenst fill the entire screen. I'm sure this is obvious to some of you but it wasnt to me!
4. I found the colours quite vivid and very useful. I play strategy games such as command & comquer and the 'Age of ...' games and these looked great (as did medal of honour).

Bad Points
1. Games like Pro Evo soccer and the like REALLY suffer from fast paced scrolling action. This was interesting as Unreal Tournament and Call of Duty didnt suffer
2. DVD's look great (I watched Troy and it handled the entire Greek army attacking the entire Trojan army brilliantly) but again, seemed to have problems dealing with scrolling landscapes i.e. panning over the Ageon sea was slightly jerky.
3. Got some ghosting but it was infrequent and minor (unlike I saw in the shop).

Just remember, Finding Niemo is THE BEST film for showing off an LCD telly because the blue smooths lines and is very vivid so dont always rely on that as a demonstration.

Overall, it handles things adequately but I'm not entirely convinced that it worth paying £100 less when a £500 Acer telly seemed smoother in the shop.

Saying this, I am no longer concerned at what I originally saw in the shop (the ghosting and shaddow issues) and have some different issue now that it is at home so I just wonder whether you need to play around a lot to get the best out of these things?

I cant really reccommed one way or the other really as it's diffilcut to say, but for those of you that work a lot with a PC at home (or play games) its a fantastic monitor. Just dont expect fast scrolling games / DVD's to be completely smooth.

is that likely to happen considering that the price of this tv is a marketing cost for the new catalogue which is not out yet?

woolworth buyers must have fielded out proposals for this tv to several companies telling them we will sell say 50,000 so rebadge and price low with us and lets make money on volume.

it would be bad PR for woolworth to sell out surely when the idea is to get people talking to each other about the catalogue and show people its cheaper than argos this xmas.
