No, he opened it today for the first time to see if he can fix it by himself. The blue ribbon thing should be fine then.
Everthing inside seems to look okay for us, we think it must be laser as mentioned by fallensoldier. However we're not sure at all.

Looking at TVs - what are the best TVs solely for gaming?

I would like to know this as well, apparently the Panasonic's TVs have a great picture but that's for live sport, gaming not sure about

[ShadyKnight]

I hear Samsung TVs are great for gaming.

That's what I have
Not too badly priced either

[nobleknight91]

I'd go with LG ,from my experience LG has no input lag and that's important thing when you choose TV for gaming.Ask as many as you can and choose depending on that aspect then you can search for quality ,contrast,....

[DA77EN]

really you would like a TV that is good for all aspects, live football, films, gaming and also a good 3D picture as SOME 3D TVs look to have a dark shade to it

[ReturnOf-TheMac]

Well a mate of mine has a brand new 3D Samsung absoloute beautiful picture.. hooked my PS3 up to it and it was awful usually I would recommend samsung for anything but not for gaming i have a Sony myself and the picture is beautiful and its perfect for gaming so IMO i'd go sony although they can be pricey

Does anybody have a spare £2k knocking about?


Not sure I want to spend that much

Feel free to post any recommendations!

[nobleknight91]

wow that one looks really nice Broad

[Bravez]

TBH i don't know an awful lot about TVs but if you want 3d as well, i would suggest LG's cinema 3d range. Not too pricey and you can use the standard cinema 3d glasses, also comes with 7 pairs. so no clumpy glasses/charging/£50 replacements

I bought a Sony in late 2008. Wonderful all round. Not sure what their newer models are like.

Next time I'm in the market for a telly I'll deffo get either a Sony or LG. Hopefully the LG is cheaper...

[TheBroad]

I'm not sure if I want 3D - but the more I think about it, this TV should last me a very long time, so whilst it may be a big hit money wise not, it is more of an investment than anything.

[DA77EN]

You may as well mate

It should be 3D TV to last long time ,and to be ready for next gen consoles (4K resolution )

I really like My Sony Bravia. I'm not having any problems with it regarding gaming. Menu is tad slow though, but that shouldn't bother you that much. One of my mates has Samsung and compared to my picture his is shockingly bad. Dunno what that's down to but that's the reason why i'm suspicious about their tv's. On the side Sony tv's tend to be a bit pricey most of the time.

Do you play your ps3 on that or have you connected it to your monitor?

Yeah everything is connected to my monitor. PC,PS3,Xbox and soon my Wii. I bought an adapter on ebay that allows you to connect it to a monitor.
