Any 3 HDMI / 2 HDMI plus a PC DVI screens?
Hello,
I just posted here: http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...d.php?t=331469 saying that my Sony PFM-42B1 is on the blink. Assuming it goes - and it's looking like it will - I would ideally like to replace it with something with at least three digital connections. I currently use a Mac mini as a hub for everything (a DVB tuner is connected to it) so I would like DVI but of course HDMI would be fine. But I figure I also need an HDMI port for a games console or Blu-Ray player, and another for a Sky HD box. I'm only seeing screens with a maximum of two HDMIs, like the Pioneers for example. Decent picture is a given, but can anyone recommend something? I would prefer a built-in digital tuner but a tuner-less flat panel like I currently have would be fine too. It needs to be at least 37". I have a mild preference for LCD, but it is mild. Any tips much appreciated. Thanks, Alex |

There are very few if no UK HDTVs out there with more than one HDMI input.. The only options to switch up HDMI is to go for a switcher or via a higher end AV amp.

Only ones I can think of are the new Toshiba LCDs - WLT58 range I think - which have 2 HDMI + a DVI. screens with 2 HDMI ports that aren't ludicrously expensive are pretty rare for now.
You could of course buy any old HDMI LCD and a gefen HDMI switchbox. Probably cheaper in the end. |
