Following on from 22 inch thread below, I am looking for a 23 inch
LCD. Options seem to be:

Humax
Samsung R87
Philips
Panasonic viera 23.
Must have speakers below, DVB, HDMI, S video, no DVD - not a fan of
all in ones as when 1 bit breakshe rest is useless.

Samsung review reads wll except audio quality. Philips looks to have
better audio but can't find a decent online review.

I bought the Humax a few weeks ago. To replace a 21" 4:3 in the kitchen.

Pretty pleased on the whole - for an LCD. At least it takes up less room.

Dunno about the speaker quality - I have it fed into an external sound
system - surprisingly you have to use the headphone jack for this, but
that works fine.

As has been said the off axis results are appalling. But I have it on a
swivel so it can face either the kitchen or 'breakfast' end.

Not sure what inputs it has - I'm just using the RGB SCART and the
composite (games) input.

I have 19 inch 4:3 monitor probably has more screen area than a 23in WS.
I watch TV on it sometimes using a dongle, I mainly use it when I want to
record TV as I think the digital TV hard drive recorders are poor value,

Including your Sagem? ;-)

The Humax does have a very narrow acceptance angle. Mines on a swivel
bracket, but it's a bugger to get it just right. As for the sound, I
thought it was pretty good. Certainly better than the portable TV it
replaced in my bedroom.

I don't have a Sagem recorder, I do have a Sagem set top box though.

The 160 gig Sagem recorder at £99 is more reasonable priced.
As for the 250 gig Topfield at £230, that is a joke, it has the same
functionality
at the Sagem yes costs £130 more (130%).
The only difference is the hardrive which would cost no more than £10 more.
I would consider buying the Sagem hard drive now, make it £90 and its a
deal!!

Something I've always wanted to know, but never dared ask...
How IS 'viewing angle' actually defined?

It's the angle at which the contrast ratio drops to 10 to 1 or 5 to 1.
160
degree viewing angles are usually quoted for 5 to 1 contrast ratios and
120 degree viewing angles are usually quoted for 10 to 1 contrast ratios.

So what contrast ratio quoted for 178 degree viewing angle please?

Unless stated otherwise by the manufacturer assume 5 to 1.
