I MAY have depends on how the missus is feeling nearer the time

Maybe you should take the nails out then? Seriously though mate, you are welcome

I don't know how his mates didn't die laughing - I would have!!!!

VERY nice job Tim, keen to see em in Wales

We have a guy who does exactly the same thing for our company - really good lad, if you want PM me and I'll ask any other questions you want answering and ask him if he'll speak to you direct - I'm sure he will

I'll make that offer too, again my spare sofa bed isn't the comfiest in the world. However, I have also got a massive couch that is the comfiest place in the world. Anyone is more than welcome (yes even Sarnie!)

Jacko , AndyC posted this yesterday He needs to be made bold Sorry i see that he is already bold Yeah was having a nightmare with it but worked it out after I'd posted that!!

Problem solved for you mate - just park next to me. Not only have I got a peppered bonnet and a scraped front bumper I've also got destroyed wheels I like to provide services like this free to the community; I'm just give, give give!!

Maybe but thats probably a tactical move as is not launching the other colours yet - they'll do exactly what they did with the PS2 and launch a slimline version in around 2yrs.

Does look stunning in blue

Just wondering why this would affect your choice of HDTV? I mean, if like me you bought one that supports 1080p then you going to be ok no matter what format wins? Also, do you reckon Blueray will be the dominant format considering the fact that its going to be in PS3s? Just wondering..... Bang on with the TV point Jacko, this is another reason for plumping for the 1080p now - its future proof. This screen is going to last me till it wears out. I think that Blu Ray has got a big advantage with being installed in the PS3, especially considering the PS2 is the biggest selling console. You'd have to say that the PS3 will also start to become that (whether it does become it only time will tell), but you can't help thinking that Sony have really shot themselves in the foot by being so far behind the Xbox 360.

Think GT5 is May but I could be wrong.

With respect I think you guys have missed the point. The Noble is a track car, it really is, granted people use them every day but it was never designed as that. Its pure function and as such maybe isn't the greatest looking car in the world. However, as its a track car do looks really enter into it? Or is it more about how much enjoyment you can get rather than aesthetics? I know what I'd rather have.

Thanks Ricky, had a really good chat with our IT guy last night who has pretty much backed up what you said. Downside with the Pioneer is though that it isn't full HD, its a 768 - thought it looked too good to be true. I've decided that I'm going for the Samsung LE40F71BX which is full 1080p with 2 HDMI ports. Best price seems to be around £1200. For anyone looking at these, what I've found is that you can't get the full HD (1080p) on anything smaller than a 40" and it has to be lcd at that size too. Plasma available at full HD on bigger sizes. There are 3 on the market at 40" of which the Samsung is the best (Sony is the next option but Samsung manufacture the screens for Sony so the only difference is the electronics which aren't significantly better enough to justify the difference in price). Also on the Samsung the dynamic contrast ratio (contrast - basically the higher the number the brighter the colours and differentiation between them is therefore easier and hence the picture looks sharper) is 6000:1, on a normal TV you're looking at around 800-1000. Plasmas apparently are unlikely to hit the 5000 mark (I'm told ever but I hesitate to use that word). Now I'm going for a lie down..........

I've been in 1, a mate of a mate has just sold his. Very, very quick and sounds amazing. Very stripped out & very basic. You'd like it tho Tim - no traction control!! Very expensive to repair too - Ryan will tell you that. 2 BIG crashes; 1 cost £20k Certainly not a daily drive, without a doubt a track tool but a bloody good one.

Right ok, so let me get this straight: - Theres nothing on Sky HD that is making full use of it, bar really the footie (which is a big thing). So not worth full HD for this alone. - PS3 & Blu Ray will really look their best on full HD. This is my main reason for getting the TV, so I should really be going for the 1080p then shouldn't I? janoof's posting made me decide on 1080i then after seeing ir_fuel's its made me think again. Why can't they just make a HD and have done, this is absolutely ridiculous; 17 squillion options and nobody in any of the shops is any more clued up than your average Mars bar

Really interesting mate, thanks for that. Your last bit about it being not noticeable is very good - think thats just made the decision for me, I'm going for the i. Where did you source the TV from? Cheers all for all you help & advice its been really useful

Think you may struggle to find a plasma under 40" mate

Have heard of them going then mines got just under 32k on now, seems ok but I'm not expecting much more from it.

Thanks Dorian
