I know basically nothing about HD Tvs, but I'm sure someone does.

I'm wanting to buy a TV mainly because I want to play my PS3 games in HD.

I'm looking for a 19" one for my room and I've found the below one.

Can anyone tell me if its any good?

spec wise it seems fine

go with what you can afford, plus it's a good brand :tmb: (if it was a Bush i'd avoid it like the plague)

In all honesty, I really think you should save up and get at least a 26" screen. I understand that you may not have the finances, but 26" HDTVs can go for about £500 or less. To fully enjoy an HD experience, bigger is better.

My advice - save up for a while longer and get a bigger screen.

5ms or less, otherwise you'll get lag. Also make sure you have all hookups supported, including past and present standards.

I could actually push that little further and get a 26" one. I've now seen the below one that looks quite good (thats from me looking at the TV itself not the specs :D)
