What's it like for gaming?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Nice, congrats mate! I've got a Sony that has an iPhone app remote and I agree, it's the biz.

Seems great for gaming... but Ive only got my old 32" lcd to compare it too, so this is a massive upgrade!  :smiley:

Just a little note about this TV if anyone is thinking about buying one. The HMDI and sockets are quite close to the edge of the display. This might cause issues if you are using high quality cables which tend to be more ridged.

Thats the only fault i can see so far, if anything else crops up ill add it here.

You can buy 90 degree adapters if it's a problem. There's no need for expensive cables anyways so get the cheap bendy ones...

Do you have a B&M Home Store near you? They do v1.4 cables for £2.99 and they work perfick.

Or this site is cheap: http://www.thatcable.com/search/90%20degree
