After reading most of your comments a lot of people are commenting about compatibility with gaming consoles so I will start there.
Both of the latest HD platforms (ps3/xbox360) work with this tv, it has an excellent resolution for the screen size and the contrast of 3000:1 is 3x better than that of the more expensive samsung 19".
LG are one of the leading manufacturers of LCD tv's so quality is guaranteed, this tv supports VGA which is a high standard of screen quality and will definitely support 720p and more than likely 1080i for a xbox360, just in case if you were to purchase this tv and a 360 console in the system blade of the console dashboard their is a HD support section which will test your tv for the best HD setting for your tv.
What you will be let down by however is the sound quality and quantity of ports for scart and other devices, this generates a problem for those who wish to connect both a console and digital tv box at the same time as there is not enough ports for them both. This tv doesn't support HDMI, however on a tv of this size it wouldn't make much of a difference I promise you!
For the money this is an excellent tv if you are not planning on spending too much on a tv, however those people who wish to run a Nintendo wii i would seriously reconsider and buy a tv a no less than 26" because this will seriously decrease gaming pleasure.
To finish this can also be used as a pc or external laptop monitor, which means you can view HD content from the Internet plus you will be saving money when it comes to upgrading your pc!
Hope this was of some help!

I have had my screen for several months now, and I love the level of detail it provides.
You can get a higher quality picture with it, very simply:
1. Buy a Dvi-male to Hdmi female adaptor ( less than £15)
2. Attatch the adaptor to the dvi port on the back and plug your hdmi cable in.
3. Press the Input button on the remote when on the dvi connection.
4. Then press right, which puts the monitor in to high quality pc mode, and allows for clear, natural pictures.
Plus, it allows hdmi connection :D
Note: Pc mode only works on 720p 60hz.

 LG MONITER

Yer the tv is rele gd itself gd picture on tv and amazing on high def for xbox. However do not buy if u want to mount it on the wall because the electricity supply is a kettle lead that goes straight into the back and sticks out too far the there is a stand that i thought might work but no the joint on the tv doesnt move so u cant actually rotate the screen up of down, i brought the wall mount that was linked with it and it doesnt even fit the tv (well done play.com u rele thought that one throuh). But other that tht it is an amazingly good moniter and the sound is also gd!!!!!!

 great price for spec
