I'm on the lookout for a new telly and will be getting a PS3 to go with it and most likely Sky HD.

As title suggests, is the 1080p really worth the extra cash???

It is for blu-ray films mate, some look stunning in 1080p, most game and Sky HD will be upscaled though so no change from a 720p set.

1080p is also future proof. Each has it's pros and cons, personally I would get the 1080p if I had the money.

I will be watching blu-ray, I'm gonna have a look round for a good price.

I've got my eye on a 37" Samsung the 1080p is £80 more so I think i'll end up paying the extra.

Cheers

For £80 difference I wouldn't even think about which to get!

1080i is Interlaced
1080p is Progressive....

Ive got a 46" Sony Bravia Full HD 1080p, with a PS3, xb360, HDDVD player and Sky HD... the ps3 works in 1080p, everything else is 1080i... to be honest, I cant tell the difference... its all amazing

as said above 1080p is future proof so is prob worth an extra 80 quid...

I just bought my nephew a new tv, it was a hanspree 37" from misco, it was 275 quid delivered... thought id give it a punt cos it was for his bedroom and playing his xbox360 via componant leads and the picture is amazing... also looks good when watching sky+ thru a scart lead!!

I have been looking at Hanspree Tv's.

Are they a good quality bit of kit?

The only thing I know about them is that they sponsor Ten Kate bikes in world superbike and supersport.

Well the one I picked up for my nephew was a refurb so came with 6 months rather than 12/24 month warranty. But then again, it was 275 quid inc delivery, I dont think you could find a tv as cheap anywhere else.
When we switched it on and turned sky on thru the scart lead I was quite impressed by the picture. Then I got him an xbox360 and plugged that in thru the red/blue/green componant leads so is running in 1080i resolution and to be fair, the picture is brilliant!! - Sound is faultless and the actual unit seems very stable and not cheap and tacky... my only issue would be the remote control. Sky havent issued the remote codes yet so you have to use 2 remotes just to watch sky...
Im quite fussy when it comes to owning things like that, and if it was for me id have not bought it, but after getting that for my nephew, I wouldnt think twice about getting one as a replacement if my Bravia died on me.

If your looking for a cheap tv.. its worth a shot!

Thanks for the info, my missus likes the look of the Samsung unit, so will have to keep an eye out for one.

Comet are doing a 37'' Samsung 720p for £519 or the 1080p for £600.

I'm now thinking is it worth it at the minute , with so few Hd channels available and there is nowt wrong with the old telly.

I think i'll have to get a ps3/blu-ray then worry about the TV.

Im sure you can get a bravia 40" with 5 year warranty for about the same money...
If you havent got anything HD then I wouldnt bother getting a tv until you can make full use of it!
Im paying a fortune for sky hd and I only ever watch sports hd and the odd movie in hd... im thinking of getting rid until theres a lot more hd stuff on.

Bluray is amazing tho
