Re: [Xbox] Inside Xbox Problem

Well perhaps its an unfair comparison, but my 2 year old Samsung cannot get
close to the picture quality/vibrant images of a 6 month only, smaller,
cheaper, LG.

In fact I would go so far as to say my Samsung looks dull, washed out and
generally not very nice at all. But then, LCD technology likely improved a
lot in the last 2 years so its not really a surprise.

Put it this way. The latest model LG kicks the living daylights out of my old
Samsung. Also, its up to $600 less than the 2" smaller equivalent Samsung in
the shops right now. So why wouldn't I favour it?

Alex.
