For SD TV. Looks on HDtv, could never get used to it and I have a 24" monitor for gaming.

I had a 74cm LG Flatron a few years back. Was a nice TV but that thing was HUGE and weighed like 50KGs.

Glad I sold it when I did. My LCD plays 720p just fine

I'm guessing that's an LCD?

How is it?

I have one in my bar works well no problems with it and sd content looks fine .
For the price it is a bargain,paid R1799 i think excl.

My futronic 32" is starting to show it's age but it's a great TV. How are the connections for the Colby?

:erm: It's not about cost. I don't want an LCD because SD looks blocky (is the best way I can describe it) on every one I've seen. Been watching on a CRT for the past 8 months and prefer it. Moving out so I need my own.

If you can give me a good reason why, I will tell you where.

What SD are you watching?
The issue is more likely 4:3 stretched to 16:9 than SD

Like I said. I watch SD channels and I prefer how it looks on CRT. I have a large enough monitor for HD gaming.

Regular Dstv SD channels. All of them.

Watch as on our two lcd tv s and it's not blocky sounds like the source isn't right, or as Plasmapot would say get a plasma

A 1024x768 43" plasma would indeed be the best option if wanting flat screen. But that is not the case.

Nothing wrong with CRT, superior picture quality for SD, and LCD and plasma are still playing catchup in terms of colours, blacks, motion, etc.
