Does this Acoustic Solutions HDTV look okay?

Here.

It's got some good reviews on their site. I'd mainly be using it for gaming with a bit of SD/HD coverage thrown in. The features and the price suits me.

Anyone have one of these tvs?

I don't have one. Whilst the specs are not as good as other TV's, because you're looking for a 26" TV, I'm sure it will be more than adequate.

This is slightly better than the current 26" Acoustic Solutions TV I got form Argos a year ago but for roughly the same price. The only real difference is that this TV comes with Freeview built in, whereas mine didn't.

If this set is anything like the one I purchased, you'll be very happy indeed with it.

Just bought it.

It is taking me a while to get used to a widescreen format (while watching tv). I'm so used to my old 4:3 SDTV. SD picture is better than I expected. Same goes for the sound. Two things I was worried about before I bought it.

I've tried a few PS3 games so far and have gotten different results:

I first tried PES2009 and, although it looked stunning, there was some very noticeable motion blur. Strangely this isn't in replays or in the menus. This leads me to believe it is the game and not the tv. Can anyone confirm?

Then I tried GTA4. The sound was really superb in this game but the colours looked a little faded out. When it was getting dark in-game it almost looked black and white. Any idea what could be the problem.

Uncharted looked, and sounded, superb. Brilliant lighting and excellent colours.

I then tried a Blu-Ray film (Spider-man 3). It looks superb and I've wondered to myself "how did I ever watch normal DVDs?"
