Tres true. But for a £500 budget, I'd much rather have a 50" plasma than a 42" LCD. I'd have loved to have a bigger budget and stick with LCD but other priorities rear their ugly heads...

'Vivid' on my LG is a horrific picture, really bright and false. 'Expert 1' with brightness around 45 looks perfect. Just a shame I'm still rolling with a lowered contrast for another few weeks.

Bah. Shoulda stuck with plasma, it's the future. That's why only a few manufacturers make them... none of the others have cottoned on yet. :o

I'd say you can park the Clio up in our road, but I'm not sure it would get back out again. Don't break it though dude; you're so close.

Knows. Plasma FTW. I'm bedding in my new LG plasma and the picture is immense, even on low settings. Probably no better than modern LCD/LED screens but coming from an old Toshiba LCD, I'm amazed.

Apparently they need bedding in to avoid image retention whilst the panels are in their infancy. Whether this is rubbish or not, I don't know, but AV Forums bods seem to sweat by it. Gaming seems to be thought particularly susceptible to IR as there is a lot of static images.

Make sure you keep the contrast ad brightness nice and low for the first few weeks, especially if you're gaming quite a lot.

112 miles in which direction?!?

The first rule is never listen to anyone who says a TV can be too big for a room. 50" is the smallest acceptable size for a 'main' TV nowadays when they're so friggin cheap. I'm currently about 3ft away from my 50". Chris, you do realise that the TV will be bigger than you though, don't you?

The green has really grown on me over the last couple years. Used to hate it and now I only dislike it. Loads of depth when it's polished though.

Slick.

That last one is brilliantly creepy!

:( best I could come up with...

Gutted :( Lucky they're Rotiform-rep's...

Lol, they're not so bad... as long as you mount at the top and dismount at the bottom!

It's first outing is going to be a road trip to Exeter in June. Fact.

Re: iPhone "must have" apps Don't think so, but I've already got it so won't bother with this other one if it's no better.

Re: iPhone "must have" apps Better than TuneIn?

Yellow and purple needs to become the colour scheme.

Dude, don't pack it in now! Think of the car as something you can go to for a release when you need it...

Are you genuinely aware of something like that with it, or just suggesting someone needs to torch it? Lol.

My brother in law wants to buy this :( I've tried desperately to show him it's way overpriced but he's into the whole bodykits and lexus lights thing. Please, someone dig up some bad history on it so I can put him off and persuade him to spend less money on a newer, lower miles example!

Cheers, I'll have a look at the measurements and see if I can work the speakers down and the TV cutout larger. Would you say bring the speakers down so they're beside the display or just slightly above, pointing down a bit? I've allowed 50mm around a 50" TV so can hopefully stretch it a bit...

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77 Very cool. High-roller.

The speakers at the top? Not really as the wall either side of the false wall are solid brick chimneys and I don't want to mount anything on them. The left hand speaker (as you look at it) could probably move onto the that chimney as it's all bricked up, but the brick chimney we want to keep as is.

Very basic sketch, but this is what I'm thinking in terms of placement. Have sacked in the idea of a projector because it just wouldn't get used enough. A nice 42-50" TV will suffice. :)

No risk of that, does my head in too! I was close to fitting my current TV above my fireplace until I realised that the viewing angle was absurd.

Yeah I don't think I'd use it enough to really gain the benefit of it properly, compared to getting a larger TV instead. The thought of footy on the projector is nice though...
