Buy now,think later?MonsieurX

I'm sure it's fine, the only thing I find a bit odd is that's 50hz in the specs, yet it's titled at 100hz. If it confidently specified 60hz, I'd snatch it myself soon.

Refresh rate: 50Hz

what?

I don't like 42" TVs, I think they're too big for just 1080p. If you watch it from afar, though, then it's fine.

That's one bad refresh rate, though.

How on earth is 42" too big for 1080p? weirdest thing I heard all day.

Anyways, the TV is mediocre, for £300, you'll mostly only find mediocre TVs.

Also, at 42 inches, I don't think the human eye can even detect the difference between 720p and 1080p.

Second, that's the whole point of "I think". This thing called opinion.

No need to be so offensive. If you think that a 106" at 3m 1080p looks fantastic, great. It doesn't for me. Also, I never said I could see the pixels.

[QUOTE="Lox_Cropek"]Too big. Pixels too big. Looks awful up close. 1080p is too low for such a big size.

[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"] Dumbass alert! 42" is kitchen TV-sized for me, even 50" 1080p tvs look tiny. I use a 106" screen for my 1080p projector, how do you explain that? I sit 3 metres from a 106" screen and it looks fantastic. With a 50" 1080p HDTV you can sit as close as 1.5m without being able to see the pixels. Go spread your igorance else where, but but any resolution higher than 1920x1080p = redundant unless the screen is 70 inches or bigger, which is why 4KHD tvs are a hoax and not needed, but 4KHD is great feature for projectors.

hi, it is a good choice,

50"-100" 1920x1080p

Looks like the successor of the LD/LK450 models which were very popular. It should be an IPS panel (lowish input lag [in theory], no blurring or streaking, great colours, great viewing angles). The only disadvantages are weak black level (in low light) and lower contrast ratio in comparison to VA panels but if I could buy an LCD TV again at this price point, I'd get an LG with IPS.

I'd say you made a good choice.

[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"][QUOTE="Lox_Cropek"]First, the difference is obvious, the human eye's limit is far from that.

Dude, no offense, I'm not trolling or anything, but from my 42" at 2 meter distance, I can easily see the difference between 720p and 1080p. While I agree that resolution is far from the most important to contribute to image quality, it's a physical fact that a bigger TV, viewed at the same distance, with the same resolution = worse quality (taking only size, resolution and distance into consideration). That's why I prefer smaller ones. Now, sure, if the bigger one is better at everything else, heck I'd choose it.Lox_Cropek

[QUOTE="Lox_Cropek"]

[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"] Your opinion is wrong, so don't share your opinion that could affect some one's purchase. If you sit 10 feet from a 50" HDTV, you won't see the difference between 720p and 1080p. Not everyone prefers the THX viewing scale like I do. My dad sits 15 feet from his 50" HDTV, which means his eyes can hardly see the difference between 480p SD and 1080p HD lol. it is other more important things like contrast, colour accuracy and black level that makes his image more desirable than an older TV, not "OMG THIS IS a 1080p TV" Don't believe the hype. You have obviously never seen 106" at 3m 1080p, if you saw my projector screen, believe me your jaw would drop the floor. Or maybe you have, but that must have been with a projector that has inaccurate colours and a poor contrast ratio unlike mine, and you must have ultimately assumed that the resolution was the problem. The projector I own is still regarded as "mid range" in the projector world, yet everyone who has been in my room feel like their HDTVs/monitors are garbage and ask me how much they have to pay to get a similar experience. kraken2109

You need to go to an optometrist.

[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"][QUOTE="kraken2109"] I agree, I know monitors are very different since you sit close, but I can see the pixels of my 22" 1080p monitor quite easily.edinsftw
