Ok, hooked it up, problem is that my mom's VCR is plugged in and recording her soapies :erm: :p

So all of the power points are being used at the moment and I can't hook my external HDD up.

Also my 8GB USB Flash Drive is at a friend's place, so can't test the USB functionality just yet.

So will have to wait till the soapies are done, test it out and report back.

There aren't any other power points available at the other TV's or my PC to check it out with.

So will get back soon with more info on it.

Good news thus far, plays DVD's just fine :D

She does not have HD DSTV and is never going to get Bluray etc so full HD will probably be a waste of money. Does it make a big difference to the price?

And I am assuming from the answers to far that at these sizes LCD will be the most cost effective (or only?) option?

I have been getting some quotes in for 17" notebooks, all are in the 12K-16K range... that Toshiba seamed like a good deal.

BUT even cheaper at your link... must investigate usatoyou methinks...

EDIT: Are these legit? Man those prices are too low to be true!!

Are you also recording Judge Judy now?
:eek:

Looking forward to the review where it works out for you hehe
 
is your hdd fat32? my xbox doesnt read ntfs, so i had to format to fat 32
 
i would format the flash to ntfs first and see if it works, if not u no thats your problem
saves u the hassle of formatting a large drive

Good idea rodga, I was never going to format the HDD anyway :p

Yotch, its tiny.

If I had to hazard a guess, maybe 15x15 cm each way.

Perhaps slightly longer.

Will measure it off tomorrow.
 
If any1 is going to this glen hi fi corp opening please let me know i would really like one of the lg 19" lcd's
 
Wow, i want that lenovo netbook so badly!!!! almost spent 3000 on a netbook, at 1300 its insane. How i wish i didn't have to work. :(
