BigW 81" LCD HD under $2000

[DAVO]

This has to be the buy of the year. The best of both worlds, the brilliant
performance of LCD flat panel together with High Definition makes this
outstanding value and I for one will be buying one. The fact Sony are
walking away from Plasma and devoting to LCD says enough for me.

Yeah, seems like good value.

What brand & resolution does it have, and can I plug my pc to it?

Which Big W did you see this at?

Since these are Australian groups wouldn't it be better to put the
size in the commonly used cm rather than the obsolete and forgotten
FFU inch units.
I may have some idea of how big it is if you did.

I looked at their 66cm (AWA) LCD about two or three months ago and it was
GREAT value for money and the picture wasn't too bad either.

You should have read DAVO's next post, posted thirteen minutes after his
initial post and 12 minutes before yours, where he corrects himself and
advises it is 81 cm :)

Hehe... ok because an 81" LCD for under 2K sounded like the buy of the
century. :-D

If you like that sort of thing...

Yeah, I was getting all excited there for a minute!
what's 81cm in inches? considerably smaller, I'm guessing.
I'll hang on to my crappy 68" Teac conventional for a bit longer.

So... what is the height of an 81cm widescreen (compared with
68cm conventional?)

Cheers,

Should have but didn't. 8*|
I couldn't see mention of it on their website but i'm sorely tempted
by it. I wish they'd stop putting old analogue tuners in TVs though. I
doubt if anybody who can afford a $2000 TV would still be using
analogue at all. In areas that have digital at least.

The Sony plasma that I looked at yesterday was far better than the Hitachi,
LG or the other one (I can't remember the brand) that was displaying the
Phillips demo at Domaine yesterday, even after I re-arranged their cabling
to make sure I was seeing the best picture on each one.

[Netmask]

The contrast ratio of 500:1 is a tad disappointing - something like 2000:1
would be better.

Here is a URL to the offer as cited by DAVO:
http://www.bigw.com.au/catalogue%2021-04-05/site/pages/05/b.html

I'm told that it's basically a rebranded Dektron DL32-B00P, refer:
http://www.decktron.com/products/lcd_32.html (can anyone confirm?)
