Hi guys :hello:

Can any one help me? im possible looking at getting this TV but for the life of me i really cant see what type of High Def display it does is it 720p, 1080i or 1080p?

Tried googling but i cant find out

Can any one help? Plus also im looking to mostly use it for my Xbox360 as well as DVD's would this TV be suitable?

Any help would be most appreciated

This TV would certainly be suitable

It is a 1080Pi, therefore it interlaces to give the full resolution of 1920 x 1080

You can find the info on Page 7 of the full user manual

ive just bought mine at dixons on line and its being delivered next friday for £650 :j :j If you go through quidco you get 3.5% back plus you can search for further vouchers off on google (thanks kip :kisses3: )

On Dixons website that comes up once u click through Quidco, they also have there own voucher codes to use as well (£25 off )
I had a look at this TV in Currys shop and it was priced up at £950 :eek: So there is a massive saving to be made on this and the picture quality is really very good as well

Please assist if you can?

I am considering buying the Samsung PS42Q96HD. However, is there a better product for the money that I should be looking at?

My family don't do sporting events, (sorry all footy fans!), we don't play TV games and all we want to do is watch TV, films, soaps, etc, and this flat screen seems to fit the bill precisely, especially at c.£700 which makes it very attractive, but am I going to regret not paying more for a better set?

I have a Sony 28" CRT which delivers a great picture, but as is the norm these days, the kids want a bigger screen for the lounge!

What about Panasonic, LG, Philips, etc? What to do???

It is 1080i, not 1080p.

You need the Samsung M86 if you want 1080p. Thats a 40" LCD. I recently bought it, and its absolutely mind blowing To say the least. The the Samsung 42" Plasma is still a great option and a bit cheaper than the M86!

You won't get a better tv for that money no.

If you just watch tv, then the Plasma will do you fine... 1080p only required really for HD consoles and blueray/hd dvd players.....

Go for the Samsung Keith
